Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say, my love
Take 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 unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn my way and say, my love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
