Breathless

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's up in the morning and on the downs

Little white clouds like gamboling lambs

And I am breathless over you

And the red-breasted robin beats his wings

His a-throat it trembles when he sings

[Refrain]

For he is helpless before you

[Verse 2]

The happy hooded bluebells bow

And bend their heads all down

Heavied by the early morning dew

At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook

The fishes leap up-a to take a look

[Refrain]

For they are breathless over you

[Chorus]

Still your hands and still your heart

For still your face comes shining through

And all the morning glows anew

Still your mind and still your soul

For still the fire of love is true

And I am breathless without you

[Verse 3]

The wind circles among the trees

And it bangs about the new-made leaves

For it is a-breathless without you

And the fox chases the rabbit around

And the rabbit hides beneath the ground

[Refrain]

For he is defenseless without you

[Verse 4]

The sky of daytime dies away

And all the earthly things they stop to play

For we are all breathless without you

I listen to my juddering bones

And the blood in my veins, the wind in my lungs

[Refrain]

And I am a-breathless without you

[Chorus]

Still your hands and still your heart

For still your face comes shining through

And all the morning glows anew

Still your soul and still your mind

For still the fire of love is true

And I am breathless without you
