A long breath He lays his head upon her chest As they face the night A long time Since they were 23 and wild So much has changed He cries In a photograph I still see her laugh Wish I'll see it once more Time's unkind to us gifts of bones and dust So much left to be told Breathe for me my darling Just breath for me my sweet angel Breathe for me my darling Just breathe for me She needs time She's known him most of her whole life Now he fades away And these lights Have grayed the iris in his eyes They're not the same She says In all honesty if it's meant to be Then we need to let go In an hourglass sand will never last We keep wishing for more Breathe for me my darling Just breath for me my sweet angel Breathe for me my darling Just breathe for me Stay tonight don't fall behind Hold on for dear life Stay tonight don't fall behind Hold on for dear life In a photograph I can see them laugh Can you see it Do you see it In a photograph I can see them laugh Can you see it Do you see it Breathe for me my darling Just breath for me my sweet angel Breathe for me my darling Just breathe for me Breathe for me my darling Just breath for me my sweet angel Breathe for me my darling Just breathe for me
