Breath of Life

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

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
