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
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 (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
You're all that I need, 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 need, 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 wanna thank you
You're the words that I read, girl
