Breath Of Life

You stepped in and dark turned 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 its bitter bite
You never think your heart will butterfly
Ballerina, don't you dance your life away
Those years meant nothing 'til this cold December day

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, breath of life)
(Aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, breath of life)

You stepped back to say goodnight
Well, I knew right there you were the breath of life
We looked up at a blinding light
Well, I knew right there you were the breath of life

I never thought I could say those words again
I think you know the ones
I'm sure you know the ones
I've been hiding alone 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

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, breath of life)
(Aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, breath of life)

Drop my hands by my side
Let the hours slip away
Don't say nothing, let the music play
20 years on down
When the time is right
I'll turn around and know you were the breath of life

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, the breath of life)
(Aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, breath of life)
