Ophélie Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the day we met and it feels so right
All I see and all I do,make me think of you
Babe you make me feel so new
Everything I touch, everything I see
Makes me wanna be with you darling
Everything I taste, everything I dream
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
We take a walk on a moonlit road
And I call your name and I've got to know
Why your love makes me feel so good
How I need you like, I never thought I could
Everything I touch,everything I see
Makes me wanna be with you baby
Everything I taste, everything I dream
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
I know our love is holy
Two in love are never lonely
You are the only one for me
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
You are the air that I breathe
The only thing in the world that I need
