Breathe Lyrics

Of all the crazy schemes and dreams of schemes,
I"ve ever dreamt, - the best have been with you
Those parlour scenes not easy to forget,
The children"s sounds - heard singing sweetly through
Now time"s trickles turned to flood,
And so we see - our living history
A child now sits upon our own child"s knee,
Well he could be - a younger you or me

Breathe with me now, breathe with me now
And keep the smile upon my face
Breathe with me now, stay here somehow
Don"t rush to leave me for a better place

Oh I prayed you"d always be,
My tea and sympathy - My strength to do what"s right
But as this shadow"s dulled your eyes
Too late I realise - we"ve lost the time of our lives
Breathe with me now, breathe with me now
And keep the smile upon my face
Breathe with now, stay here somehow

Fragile breaths from a broken frame,
I"ll hold you close - try to share your pain
I"ll gently strip away your fear,
We"re not afraid - of whatever"s near
Breathe with me now, breathe with me now
And keep the smile upon my face
Breathe with me now, stay here somehow
Don"t rush to leave me for a better place

Guitar solo

Breathe with me now, stay here somehow
But the embers slowly cool
So you"re gone from me now, time will allow
For just a memory of the sweetest flame
