Lyrics
The night is quiet
Just a lonely saxophone crying through the rain
And me thinking about you
I still remember that old café downtown
The way you laughed when the lights went out
A little candle, a little wine
A little forever in those eyes of mine
You traced your fingers across my hand
Like you already knew the life we'd plan
The city faded when you smiled at me
You became my favorite memory
And even now, after all these years
Your voice still echoes through my tears
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
We built a home from simple things
Sunday mornings and wedding rings
Photographs hanging on the wall
Capturing moments, capturing all
Then life kept turning like it always does
Through storms and victories because
Love isn't perfect, love survives
By holding on through changing tides
The years moved fast but somehow slow
And every day I loved you more
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
One autumn evening, the leaves turned gold
The air grew cold, we both grew old
You held my hand and softly said
"Promise you'll smile when I'm not there"
I tried to laugh, I tried to hide
The fear I carried deep inside
But heaven listens to no man
And took you gently from my hands
Now silence fills the empty room
Yet your love still blooms
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
Some say time can heal the pain
Like sunshine after endless rain
But time just teaches hearts to live
With all the love they cannot give
And though you're somewhere
Your hands play
You never really went away
And still it elokes my blues
Guitar shone low against saxophone rags
Tenor piano
And strings swell
So
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
Every sunrise, every storm
Every memory keeps you warm
Until the day we meet once more
Every breath I take is yours
The saxophone fades
The rain keeps falling
And somewhere beyond the stars
Just a lonely saxophone crying through the rain
And me thinking about you
I still remember that old café downtown
The way you laughed when the lights went out
A little candle, a little wine
A little forever in those eyes of mine
You traced your fingers across my hand
Like you already knew the life we'd plan
The city faded when you smiled at me
You became my favorite memory
And even now, after all these years
Your voice still echoes through my tears
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
We built a home from simple things
Sunday mornings and wedding rings
Photographs hanging on the wall
Capturing moments, capturing all
Then life kept turning like it always does
Through storms and victories because
Love isn't perfect, love survives
By holding on through changing tides
The years moved fast but somehow slow
And every day I loved you more
Every breath I take is yours
Every heartbeat still explores
The roads we walked, the dreams we knew
Every lonely night leads back to you
Every star above these skies
Still reflects your gentle eyes
No matter where this old heart roams
Every breath I take is yours
One autumn evening, the leaves turned gold
The air grew cold, we both grew old
You held my hand and softly said

Every memory keeps you warm
Until the day we meet once more
Every breath I take is yours
The saxophone fades
The rain keeps falling
And somewhere beyond the stars
