1. I was lost and alone
Trying to grow
Making my way down that long winding road
Had no reason or rhyme
Like a song out of time
And there you were standing in front of my eyes
To let go of love
And break all the rules
Girl, when you walked out that door
Left a hole in my heart
And now I know for sure
R: 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
2. I was searching the vain
Had no one else but myself left to blame
You came into my world
No diamonds, no pearls
Could 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
R: You're the air that I breathe...
