You Leave Me Breathless was written in 1938 by German film composer Friedrich Hollander with lyricist Ralph Freed. Hollander wrote music for several films before he fled Nazi Germany in 1933. After emigrating to the United States he wrote music for over 100 more films. In 1938 he composed You Leave Me Breathless for the film Cocoanut Grove, where it is sung by Bob Eberle with Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra. You Leave Me Breathless was also used for a 1938 installment of Max Fleischer's Screen Songs cartoon series which debuted just one week after Cocoanut Grove was released.

YOU LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
You leave me breathless
You heavenly thing
You look so wonderful
You're like a breath of spring
You leave me speechless
I'm just like the birds
I'm filled with melody
But at a loss for words
That little grin of yours
That funny chin of yours
There's so much to my heart
Or give your lips to me
For darling that would be
The final touch to my heart
You leave me breathless
That's all I can say
I can't say more because
You take my breath away
That little grin of yours
That funny chin of yours
There's so much to my heart
Or give your lips to me
For darling that would be
The final touch to my heart
You leave me breathless
That's all, that's all I can say
I can't say more because
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless
You heavenly thing
You look so wonderful
You're like a breath of spring
You leave me speechless
I'm just like the birds
I'm filled with melody
But at a loss for words
That little grin of yours
That funny chin of yours
There's so much to my heart
Or give your lips to me
For darling that would be
The final touch to my heart
You leave me breathless
That's all I can say
I can't say more because
You take my breath away
That little grin of yours
That funny chin of yours
There's so much to my heart
Or give your lips to me
For darling that would be
The final touch to my heart
You leave me breathless
That's all, that's all I can say
I can't say more because
You take my breath away
