How Do I Breathe
Taj Jackson | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to figure out just how to tell you that I love you
Just one look I'm bottled up
You smile at me and I am stuck
You take my breath away
I'm gonna miss you but I want to kiss you
And hold you tonight
Forever and ever, I'll do whatever
To keep you by my side

And I don't want to let you out of my sight
I look across the room to find you smiling
Is that for me?
I'd change your world with just one touch
I'd leave you speechless and awestruck
I'll take your breath away
I'm gonna miss you but I want to kiss you
And hold you tonight
Forever and ever, I'll do whatever
To keep you by my side
And I don't want to let you out of my sight
I wish this moment was here to stay
I'd love you forever if you'd just say
That you love me and you won't ever, ever go away
I'm gonna miss you but I want to kiss you
And hold you tonight
Forever and ever, I'll do whatever
To keep you by my side
And I don't want to let you out of my sight

Out of my sight
You're out of my sight
