1986 (59th Annual Awards, 53rd Best Song)
Best Song Lyric


Take My Breath Away
(Love Theme from “Top Gun”)
Watching every motion
In my foolish lover’s game;
On this endless ocean,
Fin’lly lovers know no shame.
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside;
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say,

“Take my breath away.”
“Take my breath away.”

Through the hourglass I saw you.
In time, you slipped away.
When the mirror crashed, I called you
And turned to hear you say,
“If only for today
I am unafraid.”

“Take my breath away.”
“My love, take my breath away.”
