Dirty Dancer Patrick Swayze dies of cancer

Patrick Swayze, the dancer-turned-actor whose good looks and physical grace made him a popular star of both romances and action films in the late 1980s and early '90s, died yesterday aged 57 after a two year battle with pancreatic cancer. You can read Sarah Bull's feature here later today.

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

[SOLO]

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)


Patrick Swayze lost his battle against cancer yesterday, aged 57, with his family by his bedside.
