Story Behind The Song
We wanted to dress up this classic 1,6,2,5 ballad with a Beach Boys harmony introduction, and got carried away layering the harmonies. Using a children's chorus in the coda just seemed so right.
Song Description
This song is about finding "the one", flling in love at first sight, and hoping and praying that this is the love that "takes me away" to happiness.

Lyrics
Take Me Away
I saw you tonight for the first time.
Your loveliness fell from the stars.
You were everything I ever dreamed of,
Standing right before my heart.
Now in the still of the night
I pray with all my might
That love will take me away.
Take me, take me,
(Please, please, please won't you please...)
Away, away, away,
Take me away, take me away
To a place and time I've never been before
Where I'll find the happiness I've waited for.
Too many years have gone by
And I never knew why
I was lonely, now I
Know that love will take me.
Take me, take me,
(Please, please, please won't you please...)
Away, away, away,
Take me away, take me away.
Let me feel the warmth in every sunny day.
Let me hear the truth in every word you say.
We know it's true, you know it too
Love can be sharing a moment together.
Sometimes it seems, following dreams
Takes us away to the edge of forever.
We know it's true, you know it too
Love can be sharing a lifetime together.
Sometimes it seems, following dreams
Takes us away to the end of time.
