Title: One Breath From Eternity
[Intro – Spoken, soft, reflective]
Yeah…
I was drivin’ down south…
Saw a sign that changed my life…
“One breath…”
That’s all it takes…
[Verse 1]
I was ridin’ with the windows cracked,
Sunlight fallin’ on the dash
Half an hour later I was gone…
Lost in a thought so strong
One breath is all between
This moment and forever’s dream
One inhale… one exhale…
And suddenly I see
[Pre-Chorus]
How fragile we are,
How sacred it feels
One second you’re here
Next second it’s real
One breath can change the weather
One breath can bind us together
[Chorus – Soulful, layered harmonies]
One breath from eternity,
Girl it’s you and me
One breath and it’s now or never
Say you’ll breathe with me
One breath can seal our destiny
Whisper softly “I do”
If this is my final inhale
Let it be spent loving you
[Verse 2 – D’Angelo pocket groove]
With one breath love was born
With another we were torn
Then your kiss pulled me closer
And my spirit got reborn
Never knew the weight it carried
Til I felt my chest expand
Every breath I take beside you
Feels like God is holdin’ my hand
[Bridge – Falsetto, intimate]
If life hangs on a whisper
Don’t waste it in the wind
Let me breathe you in, baby
Again and again
If death follows my last breath
I won’t be afraid
Cause eternity with you
Is where my soul will stay
[Chorus – Bigger, background ad-libs]
One breath from eternity
Girl you’re my air to breathe
One breath and forever starts
Right here… with me
[Outro – Soft fade]
Inhale…
Exhale…
If this is my last breath…
Let it be you…
