I was lost and alone trying to grow

Making my way down that long winding road

Had no reason, no 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 your love is all that I need

I was searching in vain

Playing a game

Had no-one else but myself left to blame

You came into my world

No diamonds 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 hands

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 your love is all that I need

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

You're the song that I sing (the song that I sing)

Girl, you're my everything (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 want to thank you

(And I want to thank you, lady)

You're the words that I read, girl

You're love is all I need, yeah

And I want to thank you

(And I want to thank you, lady)

You're all that I need, girl

You're the air that I breathe, yeah

And I want to thank you
