Lyrics
The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it
Can't fight it
“Breathless” has a delightful juxtaposition between Andrea Corr’s smooth, silky voice, a restrainted slide guitar solo from brother Jim Corr and a flourish or two on the violin from the other family member, Sharon Corr.
But “Breathless” is really driven from the drums. For a song with a gentle and romantic topic, Caroline Corr takes no prisoners and lays down the sort of highly active drum track that wouldn’t be out of place on a more up-tempo rock song.
It’s one of those delightful musical treats that probably shouldn’t work in theory, but somehow in practice it creates an end result that couldn’t be bettered.
Lyrics
So go on, go on
Come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling (loving feeling)
Make me long for your kiss

Lyrics
And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
And I never want to wake up
Don't lose it
Don't leave it
The harmonies throughout the song are wonderful, but my favorite is “all we have is here and now” go take a listen, it is so enjoyable!
This song is on my “Summertime” playlist for its’ wonderful energy.
Love is perhaps the greatest roller coaster of all
Think about this…
Romance is playful, have fun with it!

Fun Fact Trivia:
What did Andrea Corr have to say about the vibe of this song?
Answer: “It was a beautiful, sunny day when we wrote it, " Andrea said, "and I think that's very much in the song, because it's kind of high impact and driven and sunny and summery and it's a love song. It's about seduction and how when you're falling in love, you're just enticing that person to go one step further. It's good, good fun.”

In 2024 I started this newsletter, and in only a few months it has grown to 1500 subscribers. I sincerely thank you for being here!
In 2025 I am working, along with the most amazing minds I’ve encountered, to create an online course for those that value romance.
We invest in what we value the most. I help busy, overwhelmed adults in loving relationships, who feel their romantic connection has become routine, go from feeling taken for granted and emotionally distant to experiencing exciting intimacy, deeper connection and romance fulfillment.
This transformation ensures they thrive with mutual support, consistent romantic expression, and enriching their overall life satisfaction.
Love is the greatest adventure!
