[Verse 1]
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
Never knowing yet, the joy of lasting love
Now I'm reaching for your hand on the shore of happiness
Oh, I 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 2]
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, oh
The pleasure of lasting love

[Pre-Chorus]
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, now 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

[Bridge]
There are many, many words that I could say
Melodies I could play
Prayers that I could pray
Nothing could take your love away

[Chorus]
You take my breath away (Away, away, 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, now 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 know, I know)
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
