Of all the crazy schemes and dreams of schemes, I've ever dreamt, - the best have been with you Those parlour scenes not easy to forget, The children's sounds - heard singing sweetly through Now time's trickles turned to flood, And so we see - our living history A child now sits upon our own child's knee, Well he could be - a younger you or me Breathe with me now, breathe with me now And keep the smile upon my face Breathe with me now, stay here somehow Don't rush to leave me for a better place Oh I prayed you'd always be, My tea and sympathy - My strength to do what's right But as this shadow's dulled your eyes Too late I realise - we've lost the time of our lives Breathe with me now, breathe with me now And keep the smile upon my face Breathe with now, stay here somehow Fragile breaths from a broken frame, I'll hold you close - try to share your pain I'll gently strip away your fear, We're not afraid - of whatever's near Breathe with me now, breathe with me now And keep the smile upon my face Breathe with me now, stay here somehow Don't rush to leave me for a better place Guitar solo Breathe with me now, stay here somehow But the embers slowly cool So you're gone from me now, time will allow For just a memory of the sweetest flame
