You're Now The Air That I Breath
You're now the air that I breath
and the only oxygen that I need
Your spirit waters my soul that's
learning to grow again from seed
I feel you all around me
you are always by my side
With every breath I take
you fill me with love inside
My memories of you take my breath away
In my heart you will always stay
When I want to see you I look upon a star
I wonder if you're near as a breath away's not far
I know you are watching me from up above
Your breath, is gentle breeze filled with love
With every breath I say these words to you from afar
I love you, let the wind carry them to where you are
