| You stepped in and dark tuned to light
|
| I knew right there you were the breath of life
|
| Just when I’d given up the fight
|
| I knew right there you were the breath of life
|
| Just when the morning had lost it’s bitter bite
|
| Ooh, ooh! |
| you never think your heart will butterfly
|
| Ballerina, don’t you dance your life away
|
| Those years meant nothing 'til this cold December day!
|
| You stepped back to say goodnight
|
| I knew right there you were the breath of life
|
| We looked up at a blinding light
|
| I knew right there you were the breath of life
|
| I’ve been hidin’alone out in the night
|
| On and on, like a dream that never ends
|
| So come on out, don’t say goodnight
|
| Out of the shadows to the neon light
|
| Meet you down where that Dixieland plays
|
| Leave all your troubles, gonna dance 'em away
|
| Drop my hands by my side, let the hours slip away
|
| Don’t say nothin', let the music play
|
| Twenty years on down, when the time is right
|
| I’ll turn around and know you were the breath of life |
