Lyrics

Some times

how strong the pow er of love can be,

some times you just take my

breath a way.

You (E)watch my love grow

like a child.

Some times gen tle and (Esus4/2)some times wild

some times you just take my

breath a way.

And it’s (Bsus4)too good to (B)slip by, too good to lose.

Too good (B)to be there just to use.

I’m gon na (Bsus4)stand up

on a moun tain top

and (C#m)tell

the

that you (B)take

my

breath a way.

Some times

it a (Esus4/2)ma zes me

how strong the pow er of love can be,

some times you just take my

breath a way.

Your (E)beau ty is there in (Esus4/2)all I

(E)and when I your (Esus4/2)eyes on me,

don’t you know

breath a (E)way.

And it’s (Bsus4)too good to (B)slip by, too good to lose.

Too good (B)to be there just to use.

I’m gon na (Bsus4)stand up

on a moun tain top

and (C#m)tell

Oh, yes, you (B)take
