Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

Take My Breath Away
Artist: Berlin
Album: Top Gun Soundtrack
Song Length: 4:12
George's Thoughts: Although it is slightly too slow for competition (though DJs could easily pump up the tempo), this is one of my favorite Rumba songs. A beautiful love song, with a clearly defined beat that makes it easy to dance to. Made popular in the motion picture "Top Gun." Although Dancelife has a strict-tempo version on their album "Take My Breath Away," it's a very poor imitation with no emotion and won't sit well with the audience so use the original if you can.
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Rumba
Bars per Minute: 24
This song has slightly challenging tempo such as pauses in the music that might make it unsuitable for teaching situations or novice dancers.
Too slow for competition.
