Only A Breath Away - Patti Austin

Love can be so forgiving

As long as you’re in love

It’s not to be taken lightly

It’s been known to get the better part of me

With a little time

Consciousness will free me

Gonna lose my mind

What’s better for me

And then time can be so forgiving

But only for so long

My heart’s been beating out of time

I can not find the rhythm in our love

Don’t you like to dance

That’s not what I’m asking for

Come on, take a chance

It’s waiting for you

Don’t take your love away

Yeah, I know I’ve got a tender heart

What does it mean to you to say

Only a breath away

Opportunity creates the chance

Chances are for taking

In the making of experience

A new romantic’s heart could be breaking

With a little time

Consciousness will free me

Love is on the line

What’s better for you

I know that you won’t wait here forever
