When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born - oooooh
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru . . . now!
I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' 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 breakthru - oh yeah
Breakthru, yeah, 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 breakthru
Now! (now now 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 wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you - ooh ooh ooh ooh
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Oh yeah
Breakthru, breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you - ooh ooh ooh ooh
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Breakthru
I think it's about being in love with an acquaintance. Although it my hurt because you're not with them (you don't know if they like you back), it's a good thing just to be able to talk to them, make them smile. '...honey you're touching me...': just them touching your arm or whatever is like a surprising, wonderful thing. Each positive response is a little breakthrough. But the 'final breakthru' would be asking them out/telling them how you feel! Or, theres the possibilty that both people are friends and unaware of thier feelings towards each other and don't understand why they enjoy being together so much and the breakthru would be the realisation! Oh and the begginning bit suggests the narrator breaking up with someone and not really caring about it, because presumably they care so much more for the person mentioned throughout the rest of the song.
A year and a half after my brother passed away (1999), I got depressed. One night I had a vivid dream about my brother and he sang this song to me. At the time I didn't know the words, but I recognized the song. Next day I bought the cd and read the text: these are my brothers words telling me he wanted to reach me one more time, through my rain into the sunshine and make me smile again.... At that time I knew I had to face myself, and get better...... it worked.... Whenever I hear the song, I hear my brother talking to me. That's what it means to me.

The intro is a Freddie Mercury written "A New Life Is Born" which exists as a separate demo in a bit longer form on the bootleg market.
This song is shown through the eyes of a depress person that cant let his dead love go. However, he comes across another bueatiful girl that he wants to know. But the depression and sad thoughts of the other the girl holds him back and he waits reluctantly for that girl to come back someday. If he can breakthru his own dead love for a new one. SONG ROCKS!
I can't even begin to stretch how much I dig this song. The passion is just amazing and the way the music builds up. Brilliant!
Roger Taylor wrote it for his "then" girlfriend Debbie Lang.
well i can really relate to this song as i tried asking someone on a date, and they said no. after that i listened to this and it sparked something deep inside of me.
Another great Queen song about finding the strength to open up and love again. Freddie and Queen rock.
this song is one of queens best, no doubt
