When love breaks up When the dawn light wakes up A new life is born Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough Now I wake up Feel just fine Your face Fills my mind I get religion quick 'Cause you're looking divine Honey, you're touching something; you're touching me I'm under your thumb, under your spell, can't you see? If I could only reach you If I could make you smile If I could only reach you That would really be a breakthrough, oh yeah Break through these barriers of pain Break through to the sunshine from the rain Make my feelings known towards you Turn my heart inside and out for you now Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough Now, oh yeah Your smile speaks books to me I break up With each and every one of your looks at me Honey, you're starting something deep inside of me Honey, you're sparking something this fire in me I'm outta control I want to rush headlong into this ecstasy If I could only reach you If I could make you smile If I could only reach you That would really be a breakthrough If I could only reach you If I could make you smile If I could only reach you That would really be a breakthrough Oh yeah Breakthrough, breakthrough If I could only reach you If I could make you smile If I could only reach you That would really be a breakthrough If I could only reach you If I could make you smile If I could only reach you That would really be a breakthrough Breakthrough
