Breath Taken Away

Breath taken away 

Girls only wanted me for my body not soul
They never let me concentrate on my goals
My life just kept drifting away
Girls got involved but they didn't stay
I waited and stressed day after day
That one day some girls going to take my breath away
I kept my dreams alive
Day and night I strived

I made no mistake
No heart did I break
Far far away  far over seas
A girl I'd not know suffered the lonely disease
One day we spoke with tender words
My heart melted  my mind blurred
I fell in love its like she was sent from above
My state of mind  eyes blind with love
My feelings invoked love was the only word I spoke
I couldn't control the feelings I had
These feelings inside me weren't so bad
We would sit up at night  stare at the stars
She and me would talk for hours
We danced in the moonlight  we danced till day
I looked in her eyes my breath taken away
