Your Love Blows Me Away
Bill Anderson · Peanuts and Diamonds and Other Jewels [MCA] [1976]
Your love blows me away
Like a breeze blows across the meadow
Like a trade wind blows across the bay
Your love blows me away.
Your love shows me a world
Most men have never seen or dreamed of
Your love brings me a song
No one else could ever sing a song of sweet love.
Loving you takes my breath away
Till there's nothing left to say
Unless I could say, hey.
Your love blows me away
Like a breeze blows across the meadow
Like a trade wind blows across the bay
Your love blows me away.
--- Instrumental ---
Watching the stars fall from the skies
We must have closed our eyes 'cause now it's morning
Kissing the dew from your face
I fall into your embrace, where it's so warm.
Loving you takes my breath away
Like a breeze blows across the meadow
Like a trade wind blows across the bay
Your love blows me away.
Your love blows me away
Like a breeze blows across the meadow
Like a trade wind blows across the bay
Your love blows me away....
