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 are 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 no 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 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 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 air that I breathe, yeah And your love is all that I need *
