  • When love breaks up
    When the dawn light wakes up
    A new life is born
    Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
    Now

    I wake up
    Feel just fine
    Your face
    Fills my mind
    I get religion quick
    'Cause 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?

    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

    Break through these barriers of pain
    Break through 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 breakthrough
    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 want to rush headlong into this ecstasy

    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
    Breakthrough, 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

    If I could only reach you
    If I could make you smile
    If I could only reach you
    That would really be a breakthrough

  • Lisa Mary from Milton Keynes U.kBeing a huge fan 45 years now breaktrou is also my youngest fav. When watching video on 55 inch tv it breaks my heart as Freddie shirt sleeves fall down while waving arms in air I can see the sores the reality hits me straight in the heart of him suffering in silence from hiv/aids but doing what he loved the most he's music.
  • Jack from Niobrara, WyomingWhile you prefer to ride a train on the inside,
    Queen prefers to do it outside.
  • Joe from Wasington, D.c.I made a parody of breakthru called drivethru and instead of them crashing through a sign that says now, they're crashing through a sign that says closed LOL
  • Ronald from Park Forest, Il. UsaIt appears, in the video, the train and track was also used in the 1983 James Bond, Octopussy. Incl. the tunnel used in the music video may have been used in the shooting scene in Octopussy.
  • Michael from Santa Cruz, CaI love this song,but cry whenever I watch the video because of the state Freddy was in.You can tell he's giving it his all.A SHOWMAN & ENTERTAINER to the end.God bless you,Freddy.
