I was lost and alone
Trying to find
Making my way down that long winding road
I had no reason, or rhyme
Like a song out of time
And there you were standing in front of my eyes
How could I be such a fool
To let go of love
And break all of the rules
Girl, when you walked out that door
Left a hole in my heart
And I know for sure....

YOU'RE THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
GIRL, YOU'RE ALL THAT I NEED
AND I WANNA THANK YOU LADY
YOU'RE THE WORDS THAT I READ
YOU'RE THE LIGHT THAT I SEE
AND YOUR LOVE IS ALL THAT I NEED

I was searching vain
Playing a game
No-one else but myself left to blame
You came into my world
No diamonds, no pearls
Could you ever replace what you gave to me, girl
Just like a castle of sand
Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands
And just like a flower needs rain
I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain

CHORUS

You're the air that I breathe
Girl, you're all that I need
And I wanna thank you lady
You're the words that I read
You're the light that I see
And I wanna thank you lady

(You're the air that I breathe)
Air that I breathe
(You're the light that I see)
Light that I see
(And I wanna thank you lady)
I thank you lady
(You're words that I read)
Words that I read
(You're the light that I see)
The light that I see
(And your love is all that I need)
All that I need
Your love is all that I need, girl
