[stylist] Song Lyric: You Are the Air

[Judith Bron]

Hi Carey, A few things hit me that I don't understand.  You are the air 
seems wierd to me.  Since we can't be alive without breathing air how about, 
"The foundation of my life"?
Also the line, "I can't be romantic." doesn't make sense.  Take out the 't 
and rework the line.  I'm not a lyricist, but I'm putting in my nickel's 
worth. Judith

> You Are the Air
>
> I'm not much for talk,
> Words always confuse me.
> I'd much rather walk
> With you clinging to me
> And muse over sunsets and moonrise
> And how they compare to your eyes.
>
> You are the air that I breathe,
> The sunshine that warms my face,
> The starlight that guides my way.
> Without you I'm nothing, I'm nowhere,
> 'Cause you, you are the air I breathe.
>
> Whenever you're near
> I can't be romantic.
> But if you aren't here
> I just seem to panic
> Until you come back and I hold you
> And even though I've never told you,
>
> You are the air that I breathe,
> The sunshine that warms my face,
> The starlight that guides my way.
> Without you I'm nothing, I'm nowhere,
> 'Cause you, you are the air I breathe.
>
> And living with you, life's a song.
> Yes, days can be hard, nights are long.
> But looking at you, I recall
> My reasons to think life's a ball
> You are them all.
>
> You are the air that I breathe,
> The sunshine that warms my face,
> The starlight that guides my way.
> Without you I'm nothing, I'm nowhere,
> 'Cause you, you are the air I breathe.
>
> You are the air that I breathe,
> You are the miracle of love to me.
