(m. riperton - r. rudolph - r. waldman))

A tree, a rock, a cloud, a sky blue day
A bird in flight, the night, the milky way
Beta gammas, silk pajamas, Sunday mornings
You take my breath away
You take it away

Hello, good-bye, a sign that I love you
A runny nose, a rose, the ocean blue
Children playing, people praying,; hallelujah
You take my breath away
You take it away

Sunny days, soft rain falling
Crystal bells I love to hear ring,
Summer days, blue birds calling
Don't look now, but love's around to stay

A tear, a smile, a laugh along the way
The world at dawn, a song, the month of may
Woody herman, ethel merman, stevie wonder
You take my breath away
You take it away
