Breath of Life

You stepped in and dark turned to light
Well I knew right there you were the breath of life
Just when I'd given up the fight
Well I knew right there you were the breath of life
Just when the morning had lost its bitter bite
Oo you never think your heart will butterfly
Ballerina don't you dance your life away
Those years meant nothing till this cold December day

You stepped back to say goodnight
Well I knew right there you were the breath of life
We looked up at a blinding light
Well I knew right there you were the breath of life
I never thought 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 hadns by my side
Let the hourse slip away
Don't say nothin', 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
