Berlin – Take My Breath Away

Take My Breath Away by Berlin, from the Top Gun Soundtrack, charted #1 in US and UK, in 1986.

This was featured in the movie Top Gun, helping its soundtrack become one of the best selling ever. It was the love theme from the movie, which starred Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. The song plays over a steamy love scene between the two that was not originally in the film – test audiences asked for something more intimate, so Cruise and McGillis were called back to the bedroom. They are seen in silhouette because by then, McGillis had dyed her hair for another role.

This was written by the songwriting team of Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, who also wrote Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” for Top Gun and “Meet Me Half Way” for the movie Over The Top.

This won the 1986 Oscar for Best Original Song.

 Lyrics 
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 say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching, I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to find
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

My love, take 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
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love
