Take My Breath Away – Berlin Lyrics
Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s gameOn this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shameTurning and returning to some secret place insideWatching in slow motion as you turn around and sayTake my breath awayTake my breath awayWatching, I keep waiting, still anticipating loveNever hesitating to become the fated onesTurning and returning to some secret place to hideWatching in slow motion as you turn to me and sayMy love, take my breath awayThrough the hourglass, I saw youIn time, you slipped awayWhen the mirror crashed, I called youAnd turned to hear you sayIf only for today, I am unafraidTake my breath awayTake my breath awayWatching every motion in this foolish lover’s gameHaunted by the notion somewhere there’s a love in flamesTurning and returning to some secret place insideWatching in slow motion as you turn my way and sayTake my breath awayMy love, take my breath awayMy love, take my breath awayMy love, take my breath away
