Lyrics

TAKING ALL THOSE BREATHS FOR YOU
- Bettina Mallepell -

VERSE 1
If you were here
You would ask me
Have you felt the sun
spreading warmth all day long

If you were here
You would wanna know
How the fresh grass felt
How the roses smelt

If we could talk
Right here and now, still talk
You would go on and on
Until it's getting to hard to breathe
Until I wish I could take those breaths for you

CHORUS
Now I'm taking all those breaths for you - I'm breathing them for you too
And finally the sun is breaking through
Clouds will fade away
Blue sky will win over grey
Hope is running through my veins again

VERSE 2
Isn't it right?
What you taught me
What you shared with me
What you let me see?
Isn't it so ?
That we truly grow
When we have to fight
When we have to let go

Isn't it true?
That love won't be gone
Not now, nor ever, when we keep it alive
It lives in our own paradise
it lives in you and me
so much you let me see!

CHORUS 2

BRIDGE
A glimpse of hope
Although you're no longer here
Although you won't come back
you'll be in my heart as long as I breathe
you'll simply never leave

CHORUS 3
