Lyrics:

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,
Ooh 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.
