Air Beneath My Wings

You Are The Air Beneath My Wings

   @Rick Lang

                   

The sun is shining brightly out in the harbor, 

I'm watching as the tide comes rushing in.

Up overhead seagulls are hovering, 

gliding on the cool rush of air beneath their wings.

The sound of your voice fills up my senses,

like the fragrance of the ocean's sweet perfume.

Just knowing that you’re near is so reassuring, 

words cannot express these feelings that I have for you.

*CHORUS

For you are the source of my inspiration,

the sweetest song that my heart sings.

You lift me higher than the gulls o'er the ocean,

just like a gentle summer breeze…

You are the air beneath my wings.

Just as the waves are to the ocean, 

you will always be a part of me.

You are the reason that I go on living, 

I need you as much as the air that I breathe.

*CHORUS

As long as you’re beside me to help and to guide me, 

I can face the battles life should bring.

For like a coat of armor your love will protect me, 

from all of life’s arrows and slings…

You are the air beneath my wings.
