Barely Breathing Songtext
von Whitfield

I can′t believe it, it's ten after eight
You said that you′d call me, not leave it too late
I'm stuck around here, I'm dragging my feet
I′m scratching your name on the earth beneath

If I had my way, baby, you would have stayed

Was it a dream? Did we really feel love?
I saw the stars in the heavens above
Yet all that I wish, you would not go away
Take me or leave me, I beg you to stay

Time has its way of providing a path
We fumble around, find our way in the dark
I feel I should mention, it′s so hard to say
Seems we got so tied up in this old back and forth
I'm holding you tight as I head for the door
My heart′s barely beating, my breath's gone away

If I had my way, baby, you would have stayed


Was it a dream? Did we really feel love?
I saw the stars in the heavens above
Yet all that I wish, you would not go away
Take me or leave me, I beg you to stay

We fell in love like we′re under a spell
We're hoping to God we would never do well
No, I can still taste you, you′re under my skin
I still hear your voice, I wait echoes in me

Was it a dream? Did we feel love?
I saw the stars, heavens above
Was it a dream? Did we feel love?
I saw the stars, heavens above
And there's one for you

Was it a dream? Did we really feel love?
I saw the stars in the heavens above
Yet all that I wish, you would not go away
Take me or leave me, I beg you to stay
