My oxygen

Melinda Schneider


I take each breath as if it is my first 
I hold it there deep inside me 
Until I'm 'bout to burst 
I speak each word as if it is your name 
I move my lips and taste the moment 
Still it sounds the same 
Your hand moves and so does mine 
Our hearts beat 
Our bodies keep in time 
You are my oxygen 
I breathe you in 
I breathe you out 
You are my oxygen 
You are my love you are what life's about 
I take each breath as if it is my last 
You never know what came so slowly 
Could leave us oh so fast 
I take each step as if it is to you oh 
I hear your voice I feel your presence 
In everything I do 
My body sleeps your lips revive 
Our eyes meet and I know I'm alive 
The air is thick the flowers sweet 
The shadows come down 
Tonight the moon is at my feet 
And I breathe you in I breathe you in to me 
And I'm nobody without you 
If you were not here what would I do
