The moment I met you my life became new
and the first time you spoke I knew it was true
The only one I could ever love was you
The one I could count on to get me through
For the first time I can breathe
An air that's so sweet
That lifts me up
Beyond my wildest dreams
The wind beneath my wings
You are the air I breathe
___%
I never thought I could feel this way
That I'd find someone who wouldn't run away
And I'm changed because you're here today
Because you've said it's with me you want to stay
For the first time I can breathe
This air that fills my soul
That strengthens my heart
So I can go where I couldn't go before
And I am left longing for more
You are the air I breathe
___&%
For the first time I can breathe
Never felt so alive
Just holding you close
And never letting you go
Now I have to let you know
You are the air I breathe
At last I can breathe
You are the air I breathe

Standard notation for all my multi-person, distinctlively musical songs
Imagine swooning, soaring melody with heft string accompaniment. that's what I do.
You need to understand that I am a total musical nutcase (see my lyrics for my musical on my page) but everyone knows that musicals have the most fantastic love songs because they have the freakishly talented lyricists and the full orchestra (orchestra lends itself to lovesongs.)
The chorus is pretty belt-filled.
Much Love.

Thanks
Thanks for entering my contest. I really appreciate it. I find the lyrics interesting, but I don't really hear a melody when I read it. Do you have one?

Damn(sorry first thought after reading it)this was magnificent with a great rhythm and the fact that I have not read a decent love poem in a while.
For the first time I can breathe
