Take My Breath Away
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth displays your majesty
How could you ever be
So mindful of someone as me
You captivate
Splendor I have never seen
Nothing else can compare
You're everywhere
You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart on fire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
See me, all I am
These empty hands
Are all I can give
That you would die so I'd live
Your sacrifice I can't believe
You fascinate
You stole my heart
I can't forget
And now that I've felt your love
No turning back, I can't get enough
You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart on fire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
The morning breaks
My soul awakes
You are my one desire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
With just one word
With just one glance
I'm lost in this divine romance
And every single day
More than I can say
You take my breath away
You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart on fire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
The morning breaks
My soul awakes
You are my one desire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
Oh, oh, oh
You take my breath away
Oh, oh, oh
You take my breath away
You take my breath away

I have nothing to offer
Are all I can give
All I can offer is my emptiness

As the new day dawns
My soul awakes
My inner being is stirred
You are my one desire
My heart longs for you above all else
With just one word
With just one glance
With just a single look or a word from you
I'm lost in this divine romance
I am swept away in this beautiful love affair with you
And every single day
And with each passing day
More than I can say
I cannot express enough how much I love you
Oh, oh, oh
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless, in wonder and amazement
