Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was lost and alone
Tryin' to grow
Makin' my way down that long, windin' road
Had no reason, no rhyme
Like a song out of time
And there you were standing
In front of my eyes
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I was searchin' in vain
Playin' 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 (Words that I read)
You're the light that I see (You're the light that I see)
And your love is all that I need (All that I need)
You're the song that I sing (Song that I sing)
Girl, you're my everything (Girl, you're my everything)
And I wanna thank you, lady
[Verse 8]
You're all that I needed, girl
You're the air that I breathe, yeah
And I wanna thank you, lady (And I wanna thank you)
You're the words that I read, girl
Your love is all I need, yeah
And I wanna thank you (And I wanna thank you, lady)
You're all that I needed, girl (You're the words that I read)
You're the air that I breathe, yeah (You're the light that I see)
(And your love is all that I need) And I want to thank you
You're the words that I read, girl
