Queen - You Take My Breath Away Lyrics

Queen Lyrics

"You Take My Breath Away"

Ooh
Ooh, take it, take it all away
Ooh
Ooh, take my breath away (ooh)
Ooh
Ooh, you-ou-ou-ou
Take my breath away

Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move
You destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears
With a single sigh
(Please don't cry anymore)
Every breath that you take
Any sound that you make
Is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you (ooh)
Right until the ends of the earth (aah)
I'll get no sleep
'Til I find you (get no sleep)
And tell you that you just
Take my breath away

I will find you anywhere you go (ooh)
Right until the ends of the earth (aah)
I'll get no sleep 'til I find you (get no sleep)
To tell you when I've found you
I love you

Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath
Ooh, take my breath away
Ooh, take my breath away
Ooh, take my breath away
Ooh, take my breath away

Writer(s): Freddie Mercury

This song was based on the Japanese pentatonic scale.

"You Take My Breath Away" was supposedly written about Mary Austin. Freddie Mercury lived with her for six years, but they split up in 1980 when Mercury decided he preferred male partners. Austin and Mercury remained friends until his death.

Freddie Mercury said in an interview on Capital Radio, "This one I did myself. I multi-tracked myself. So, the others weren't used on this for the voices. I played piano and, basically, I don't know how we managed to stay this simple—you know—with all our over-dubs and things. People seem to think that we're over-complexed, and it's not true. It depends on the individual track really: if it needs it - we do it. So this is pretty sparse actually by Queen and our standards."

This song was live performed by Freddie Mercury at a Hyde Park concert before recording it.
