Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: AIR/EARTH/FIRE/WATER
I went with the first song that came to mind today…although I have a feeling more will come into my head in coming days. I just love the key line from this song: “ALL I NEED IS THE AIR THAT I BREATHE…AND TO LOVE YOU”. Ever felt like that? Aaaaah! Wonderful feeling. Feeling that way now that I have slept the night with company for the first time since early March! Happy Caramel.
I am with Jack this weekend…and so I am going to love you and leave you for now….with this gem of a song from The Hollies:
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, and tired
What more could I ask
There’s nothing left 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
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
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
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
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you

This was literally my first song choice. I had the post built and my hubby came in and said I should do something else. So I did. Then I scrapped the second song when he came in and gave me a new song. I was on my 3rd song when I decided, nope! I ended up with my 5th or 6th choice. LOL! I’m so glad you did this. I had this on a 45 and love this song! 🙂
