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've been 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)
You're my love affair
(You're my love affair)
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
(And I wanna thank you, lady)

You're the words that I read, girl
Your 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 words that I read)
You're the air that I breathe, yeah
(You're the light that I see)
And I want to thank you
(And your love is all that I need)

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