  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
  (2x  - first  time  w/lead  guitar and harmony vocals; second time
  with orchestra)
 partial verse:
  Peace  came upon me and it leaves  me weak
  So sleep,  silent angel,  go to  sleep
 (repeat chorus)
  (once,  w/lead guitar  and harmony vocals)
 repeat to fade):
  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
