Lyrics

Some times

it a maz es me

how strong the pow er of love can be.

Some times you just

take my

breath a way.

You’ve (C)watched my love grow

like a child,

some times gen tle and (Csus)some times wild.

Some times you just

take my

breath a way.

And it’s (G)too good to slip by, it’s (C)too good to lose;

too good to (G7)be there

(C)just to use.

I’m gon na (G)stand

on a moun tain top and (Am)tell

the

(F9)news,

that you (G)take

(G7)my

(C)breath a way.

Some times

it a maz es me

how strong the pow er of love can be.

Some times you just

take my

breath a way.

You’ve (C)watched my love grow

like a child,

some times gen tle and (Csus)some times wild.

Some times you just

take my

breath a way.

And it’s (G)too good to slip by, it’s (C)too good to lose;

too good to (G7)be there

(C)just to use.

I’m gon na (G)stand

on a moun tain top and (Am)tell

the

(F9)news,

that you (G)take

(G7)my

(C)breath a way.
