Oh my, I love this song. I almost always tear up when I listen to it. James King, the bluegrass storyteller. I love his songs and his voice. He passed away needing a liver transplant. The first and only time I ever saw him live was at Starvy Creek and he said he wouldn't live long without a liver transplant, he didn't have any insurance and couldn't afford to have the operation. I don't know for certain, but assume he didn't get to have a transplant because he died soon after we saw him. Mercy, he could sing a song.
She Took His Breath Away sung by James King
(G)He couldn't catch her eye
(C)No matter how he'd (G)try
If she noticed him at all he couldn't (D) say
(G)He didn't know if it was love
(C)Or what the feeling (G)was
He only knew,(D) she took his breath (G)away...
(G)Call it luck, call it smart
(C)Somehow, he won her (G)heart
She looked so gorgeous on her wedding (D)day
(G) She whispered "I Love You"
(C) He tried to say it (C)too
But he couldn't speak
(D)She took his breath (G) away
(G) That night he closed (C)his eyes and dreamed (G)about her
And he swore he'd love her til, his dying (D)day
(G) Life just wouldn't be (C)the same (G) without her
He loved her so (D) she took his breath (G) away
(G) Two people, one soul
(C) Two hearts (G) one goal
To be together for etern(D)ity
(G)She's callin' for you Joe
(C) And I think you'd better (G) go
She ain't got long, he heard her doctor (D) say
(G) Then kneeling by her bed
(C) The last words that she (G) said
You know you always (D) took my breath (G) away
(G) That night he closed (C)his eyes and dreamed (G)about her
And swore he'd love her til his dying (D)day
(G) He didn't have the (C)will to live (G)without her
He loved her so (D)she took his breath (G) away
(G)Oh one last time(D) she took his breath(G)away....
