You Take My Breath Away

words & music: Allan Thomas & Carole Cook

If I was a poet I know what I would do
put my pen to paper
close my eyes and think of you
I'd wait for inspiration turn it into rhyme
praise the very thought of you
with every single line
I'd write the words my lips could never say

*you take my breath away
you take my breath away

if I was a painter know what I would do
set my brush to canvas lose myself in you
I see you there before me my heart begins to race
try to catch the essence of the mystery in your face
I'd paint what I could see but never say

*you take my breath away
you take my breath away

I'd write the words my lips could never say
you take my breath away

and if I was a garland gardenia white as snow
I'd wrap myself around you and never let you go
I'd gaze upon your loveliness feeling your heart beat
I'd be content to spend my life making yours complete
I'd whisper things that I could never say

*you take my breath away
oh you take my breath away
