You Take My Breath Away

Whenever I begin to think of you I smile,
This heart of mine just sails away there’s no denial,
You have captured everything
Oh, you take my breath away.

And when I hear you talk the clouds just roll away,
The beauty in your walk the sun comes out to play,
You have captured everything,
Yes, you take my breath away.

I have done some things that have made you cry,
Don’t you know I’d give anything?
Promise you my love if you let me try,
My very life to you I bring.

The stars are out tonight above the golden sea,
The moon is full we walk the sand it’s you and me,
You put your hand in mine,
Oh, you take my breath away.

Now slowly you just turn to me and start to sway,
We dance and hold each other ‘til the start of day,
As you have your hand in mine,
Oh, you take my breath away,
Yes, you take my breath away.

And as morning comes you fly away,
Into our world you now are carrying-
This very dawning of our brightest day,
You’ve put on our wedding ring.

The world is brighter now than it has ever been,
Can hardly wait to see your smiling face again,
You have captured everything,
Oh, you take my breath away.

At end of day you run to me with open arms,
I hold you close enveloped in your loving charms,
Then you put your hand in mine,
Oh, you take my breath away,
Yes, you take my breath away,
Yes, you take my breath away,
Yes, you take my breath away!
