I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, “Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,

“Every Grain Of Sand”

In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed

Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.

“Take My Breath Away”

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 sayTake my breath away
Take my breath awayWatching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returningTo some secret place to find
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
My loveTake 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 my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away
