If I could breathe you in
I’d surely not exhale
Our love will always win
You are my soul mate twin
A love like ours can’t fail
If I could breathe you in
There’s magic in your grin
A love that will prevail
Our love will always win
Sweetly. like a violin
Strong, as a tall ships’ sail
If I could breathe you in
You cause my heart to spin
As cupids’ arrow will impale
Our love will always win
Our love would just begin
You are my holy grail
If I could breathe you in
Our love will always win
