Watching every motion
In my foolish lover’s game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shameTurning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and sayTake my breath away
Take my breath awayWatching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returningTo some secret place to find
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
My loveTake my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraidTake my breath away
Take my breath awayWatching every motion
In this foolish lover’s game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there’s a love in flamesTurning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and sayTake my breath away
My love
Take my breath away
My love
Take my breath away
My love
Take my breath away
My love
