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.
