The going-to future is a grammatical construction used in English to refer to various types of future occurrences. It is made using appropriate forms of the expression to be going to. It is an alternative to other ways of referring to the future in English, such as the future construction formed with will (or shall) – in some contexts the different constructions are interchangeable, while in others they carry somewhat different implications.
Constructions analogous to the English going-to future are found in some other languages, including French and Spanish.
The going-to future originated by the extension of the spatial sense of the verb go to a temporal sense (a common change, the same phenomenon can be seen in the preposition before). The original construction involved physical movement with an intention, such as "I am going [outside] to harvest the crop." The location later became unnecessary, and the expression was reinterpreted to represent a near future.
The colloquial form gonna and the other variations of it as mentioned in the following section result from a relaxed pronunciation of going to. They can provide a distinction between the spatial and temporal senses of the expression: "I'm gonna swim" clearly carries the temporal meaning of futurity, as opposed to the spatial meaning of "I'm going [in order] to swim".
Ohh...ohhh take it take it all away
ohh...ohhh take my breath away
ohh...ohhh you take my breath away
Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only one.
You've captured my love, stolen my heart,
changed my life.
Every time you make a move you destroy my mind.
And the way you touch I lose control and shiver deep inside.
You take my breath away
You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
(please don't cry anymore)
every breath that you take, any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surly die, if you dismissed me from your love
You take my breath away
So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you
to tell you that you just take my breath away
I will find you anywhere you go...ohhh
right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you
to tell you when I found you
I love you.
