The Air that I Breathe
Lasse Stefanz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could make a wish I think I’d pass
Can’t think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There’s nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air
That I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don’t sleep silent angel don’t you sleep

Sometimеs all I need is the air
That I breathe and to lovе you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes all I need is the air
That I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you




All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes all I need is the air
