Answer
Hello Haley,

That was "Take My Breath Away" by Margo Smith back in 1976.


I've been waitin', waitin' so long
For you to bring your love, where it belongs
Lord knows I've prayed,
Your body lying, in my arms

Now at last, you're next to me
About to give love, tenderly
And all I can say
Is baby, take my breath away

Take my breath away
And leave me breathless, helpless and weak
As you smother me with kisses
Till my lips no longer speak

And if I die, at least I'll have known
The true meaning of ecstasy
So go ahead
And take the breath right out of me

(Instrumental)

Take my breath away
And leave me breathless, helpless and weak
As you smother me with kisses
Till my lips no longer speak

(Spoken:)
(And you know something baby)
(If I was to die)
(There's one thing I'd know for sure)
(That we knew the meaning of ecstacy)

So go ahead
And take the breath right out of me


Glad to be of help. Cheers..........Mel.
