Something in the Air
Les Reed And His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something in the air
That wants me to beware tonight
There's something in the air

There's music in the breeze
I never saw the stars so bright
There's something in the air

Though I find there's danger in your eyes
That's real as you, I've been blind
But now I realize what love can do

I feel it everywhere

So whisper you'll be mine tonight
There's something in the air
