Love is in the Air (John Paul Young)

Love is in the air

Everywhere I look around

Love is in the air

Every sight and every sound


And I don't know if I'm being foolish

Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when I look in your eyes


Love is in the air

In the whisper of the trees

Love is in the air

In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming

Don't know if I feel sane

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when you call out my name


Love is in the air

Love is in the air

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-ooh, ooh-ooh


Love is in the air

In the risin' of the sun

Love is in the air

When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion

Don't know if I see it true

But you're something that I must believe in

And you're there when I reach out for you
