Thread Name: Lyr Req: Breathless (Eddie Cherkose, Jacques Press
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'm Breathless / You Leave Me Breath
From a small book of "2nd 100 Top Pop Songs" by Hanson Press. Words, lead line, and chords.

BREATHLESS by Eddie Cherkose and Jacques Press (presumably no relation to Hanson Press)

The words are, as printed above: first verse: If I had a dictionary... 2nd verse: When I try to be poetic... bridge: You take my breath away... 3rd verse: I take you for a little walk...

At the bottom of the page is says Copyright 1942 by Porgie Music Corp.

It's a delightful little ditty, and I can see why people would add to it, expand it, or interpolate it into other pieces.
