[Intro]
When love breaks up, (Breaks up)
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make
This final breakthrough, now!

[Verse 1]
I wake up, feel just fine
Your face fills my mind
I get religion quick
Because 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?

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
(Break trough) These barriers of pain
(Break trough) Yeah, into 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 (break)through
(Now!) Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental break]
(Breakthrough)
(Breakthrough)
(Break-)
Hey!

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Breakthrough!

Queen

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
