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 words that I read (words that I read) You're the light that I see
And your love is all that I need
