You I don't know what to say You take my breath away You're every song I sing You're the music that I play And you take my breath away You You smile and it's okay You take my breath away Like water from a stream on a sizzling summer day You take my breath away There are words for the magic of a sunrise Only none of them will due For You You take my breath away And I don't know what to say Cause you take my breath away You You take my breath away And I don't know what to say Cause you take my breath away You take my breath away You take my breath away You take my breath away You take my breath away
