If there were perfect words to sing
A perfect song beyond imagining
If there were colours only we could see
And somewhere in our hearts
Where only we could be
Groping through the night
Pretending all those things were mine
A heart with wings
Without someone to make it fly
Someone to be inside
Part of somebody's life
I know that it's you

Breathe on me softly with your smile
It's not a race that is run
In each other's eyes
I see reflections of a life
A life that is only begun

Walking corridors of emptiness
Without a door to close them all
And then forget
Standing in the rain that purifies
Reaching for a hand
To cross the water line
Pedalling so fast
Scared to get off at last
Holding out a hand
The one to call it mine
Someone to be inside
Part of somebody's life
It had to be you

Breathe on me softly with your smile
It's not a race that is run
In each other's eyes
I see reflections of a life
A life that is only begun
Breathe on me softly with your smile
It's not a race that is run
In each other's eyes
I see reflections of a life
A life that is only begun
