Careful steps around you now
My heart beats way too loud
Every word I want to say
Gets caught before it finds its way
Standing here beside you
Wondering if you knew
How long I've held these feelings
Deep inside concealing
I rehearsed these lines a thousand times
Still they won't come out right
My hands are shaking voice is breaking
As I face this night
Take this breath away from me
Say the words I long to hear
Hold this moment carefully
Before it disappears
(Before it disappears)
Summer days turned into fall
We wrote our names on every wall
Sweet moments shared between us two
Everything felt fresh and new
Looking back it's funny how
Those nervous days feel distant now
Replaced by morning coffee cups
And quiet evenings wrapped in us
But time keeps moving endlessly
Changes what we see
The fire slowly burning low
Till smoke is all that's left to show
Take this breath away from me
Say the words I long to hear
Hold this moment carefully
Before it disappears
(Before it disappears)
Now the rooms feel twice as big
Without your presence here
Left with only memories
That fade with every year
Ooh how did we end up here
Ooh where did we lose our way
Take this breath away from me
One last time my dear
Hold this moment carefully
As we disappear
As we disappear
(As we disappear )
