Story behind the song
The young lovers met during different times of their lives that were not compatible. None the less the romance that ensued was genuine though not long lasting. The song was originally written a long time ago by the young man in the relationship and only some 25 years later does the young lady (now not so young) realize the impact of that relationship on her life and so she replies to the young man stating that she realized that neither one of them can go back in time but she has never stopped thinking about the wonderful times that they shared as young lovers.
Lyrics
NEED A BREATH OF YOU (EST. 1982) ORIGINAL WORDS AND MUSIC BY PHIL VAN STEENBURGH UPDATED LYRICS (LAST 2 VERSES) CORY ROCHON-RATKO SITTIN AT THE CORNER TABLE, QUITE ALONE, SOME CHARACTER ACROSS THE WAY, IS SHOUTIN ON THE PHONE, HE’S TELLING HIS WIFE OR HIS GIRLFRIEND THAT HE WISHES HE WERE HOME HONEY, SO DO I. ANOTHER 30 MINUTES AND THE BUS WILL BE AROUND. IM SICK OF THIS OLD CITY, WHERE MEMORIES DO ABOUND. I’M SICK OF COFFEE, MADE WITH YESTERDAY’S GROUNDS. I NEED A BREATH OF YOU. WELL THE VOYAGEUR IS PULLING IN NOW, TO TAKE ME HOME TO YOU, TO A SWEET SMILE AND A GENTLE STYLE AND A HEART I KNOW IS TRUE TO AN AFFAIR WITH TIME, THAT I KNOW CAN CLIMB, UP TO THE MOUNTAINS OF KATMANDOO. OH, I JUST NEED A BREATH OF YOU. SOME 25 YEARS NOW GONE SINCE THE BOY GOT ON THAT BUS, DIFFERENT PLACES TO GO, I GUESS THAT SUMS UP THAT’S THE STORY OF WHAT WAS … US. BUT EV’RY TIME WHEN THE AUTUMN LEAVES TURN AS DOES THE RIVER TO ICE AND I’M THINKING THAT WAS… OH SO NICE. WELL, THAT’S A BREATH OF YOU. YEAH, THAT WAS A BREATH OF YOU. SO JUST KNOW THAT WHEN A BLUE & WHITE CAR STOPS TO PICK UP SOME LONELY GIRL, AND SHE JUMPS IN QUICK WITH A FLASH OF TEETH AND THE FLIPPIN’ OF A BLONDIE CURL, THAT MY KNEES STILL GO A LITTLE WEAK AND REALLY, I CAN HARDLY SPEAK. AND I CHOKE BACK NEARLY THREE DECADES AS SHE LEAVES THE STREET. KNOW THAT I STILL BREATHE A LITTLE YOU. OH YEAH, I STILL BREATHE A LITTLE YOU OH I STILL NOW AND THEN… I NEED A BREATH OF YOU.
