take my breath away

We were listening to the radio and Juma started singing along--to a song he'd heard eariler in the day. "Take my breath...take my breath away..." he sang.

Sarah: Juma, do you know what that means?
Juma: Yes. It means a pretty girl. Girls take away boys' breath. You take away Baba's breath, 'cause he thinks you're pretty. You are very pretty, Mom.
Sarah: melting Ah, thanks, Juma.
