THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
Writers: Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood

Publishers: EMI April Music Inc (ASCAP)

Unreleased recording dating from the late 1970s

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 book to read
Making love to you has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing more to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe, and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, and 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, and 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, and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe, and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, and to love you
Sometimes
All I need is the air

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

NOTES

This song was initially recorded by Phil Everly, but became a major hit for the Hollies in 1974. Melanie recorded a version thought to date from the late 1970s, but it was never released.
