i was lost and alone
trying to grow
makin' 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
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 now 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 you're love is all that i need

i was searching in vain
playin' your game
had no one else but myself left to blame
you came into my world
no diamond or 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 hand
and just like a flower needs rain
i will stand by your side
through the joy and the pain

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 you're love is all that i need

your the song that i sing
girl, you're my everything
and i wanna thank you lady
you're all that i need, girl
you're the air that i breathe, yeah
and i wanna thank you, lady
