[verse]
|
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
|
Never known yet
|
The joy of lasting love
|
Now I'm reaching for your hand
|
On the shore of happiness
|
Oh, acquiesce
|
To you my dear, my love
|
|
[chorus]
|
You take my breath away
|
You're everything I desire
|
I can't stay away
|
I used to say never
|
But I'll never say never again
|
Every night and day
|
I realize what can't be denied
|
I never thought I'd fall
|
But I fell anyway
|
And I know that I know that I know that
|
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
|
Anyway
|
|
[verse]
|
You're the perfect lover
|
And you are the perfect friend
|
Now all that's ever been
|
We simply rose above
|
And as long as we don't build
|
A castle on quicksand
|
We'll experience and understand
|
The pleasure of lasting love
|
My heart's on fire
|
Burning with a flame that will never die
|
There's a voice inside
|
Saying don't be afraid don't compromise
|
|
[chorus]
|
You take my breath away
|
You're everything I desire
|
I can't stay away
|
I used to say never
|
But I'll never say never again
|
Every night and day
|
I realize what can't be denied
|
I never thought I'd fall
|
But I fell anyway
|
And I know that, I know that, I know that
|
I never thought I'd all but I fell
|
Anyway
|
|
[bridge]
|
There are many, many words that I could say
|
Melodies I could could play
|
Prayers that I can pray
|
Nothing could take your love away
|
|
[chorus]
|
You take my breath away
|
You're everything I desire
|
I can't stay away
|
I used to say never
|
But I'll never say never again
|
Every night and day
|
I realize what can't be denied
|
I never thought I'd fall
|
But I fell anyway
|
And I know that, I know that, I know that
|
I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway
|
I know
|
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
|
Anyway
|

Anyway
