You leave me breathless
You heavenly thing
You look so wonderful
You're like a breath of Spring

You leave me speechless
I'm just like the birds
I'm filled with melody
But at a loss for words

That little grin of yours
That funny chin of yours
Does so much to my heart
Oh, give your lips to me
For, Darling, that would be
The final touch to my heart

You leave me breathless
That's all I can say
I can't say more because
You take my breath away
