Keep me Breathing

A summer spent, private hide away

A golden time wrapped in negligee

Backyard display of love in a world of our own

A gentle breeze was your clement caress

Every time I needed you, you were there

That month ran away in days you helped me grow

Now let me tell you what I've always known

That look in your eye is a gentle smile

(I hear you breathing)

God we gotta try see the sun tonight

(I feel you breathing)

You are my best friend honey

And I'm frightened of the end

You're all that I've got to keep me breathing

A stolen kiss in a drive way scene

A Capulet kinda tragedy

Montague had to die for the family pride

And I don't know why

I'm sick and tired of mendacity

All that I had is now a fantasy

Your memory of me is now just a faint cologne

Now let me tell you what I've always known

That look in your eye is a tender smile

(I hear you breathing)

We said our goodbyes now we're dead inside

(I feel you breathing)

You were my best friend darling

Now my life is at an end

You're all that I had to keep me breathing

Seizure of mind commanding my standards

It makes me cry

A one sided cowards game why

Thought I had the shoulders to carry us over

But because of love I know I'm crucified

That look in your eye is a tender smile

(I hear you breathing)

God we gotta try see the sun tonight

(I feel you breathing)

You were my best friend honey

And I'm frightened of the end

You're all that I had to keep me breathing
