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.

Making love with you

Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.

What more could I ask?

There's nothing left to be desired.

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.

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.

So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.
