You stepped in and dark turned to light I knew right there you were the breath of life Just when i'd given up the fight I knew right there you were the breath of life Just when the morning air lost its bitter bite You never think your heart will bu*terfly Ballerina don't you dance your life away Those years meant nothing till this cold december day You stepped back to say goodnight I knew right there you were the breath of life We looked up at a blinding light I knew right there you were the breath of life I never thought that i could say those words again I think you know the ones i'm sure you know the ones I've been hiding alone in the night On and on like a dream that never ends So come on out don't say goodnight Out of the shadows to the neon light Meet you down where that dixieland plays Leave all your troubles gonna dance 'em away Drop my hands by my side let the hours slip away Don't say nothing let the music play Twenty years on down when the time is right I'll turn around and know you were the breath of life
