A friend I had once told me

Such an unusual story

Of a man who did breathe in

But never did breathe out This tale reminds me of you

Though a different shade of blue

You cannot always take and never give

This is not how to live You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around Though I don't know this for sure

Just another knock at my door

A sprinkling of an inkling

Underneath an apple tree I'll tell you when I find out

And show you what it is to breathe out

A natural progression lesson

Messing up your mind You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around I feel in you another way to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I watch as you breathe over me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm breathing Like a tale on Jackanory

The end to this unusual story

Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on

Step out of the rain, yeah yeah Thought I'd like to think this were true

You've become a deeper shade of blue

In my eyes, this comes as no surprise

You've nothing left to give, no You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around Breathe in and out

Spread a little love

Breathe in and out

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta breathe
