They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight top-ten hits in the United States in the early 1980s. They formed in 1975 and have included various accompanying musicians and singers. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) inducted Air Supply into their Hall of Fame on 1 December 2013, at the annual ARIA Awards.

       Air Supply is the eighth studio and second eponymous album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music). The album was a step down in the band's sales, reaching gold certification and #26 in the US charts. The single "Just as I Am" was their last major entry on the charts, reaching #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, while their interpretation of the Jennifer Rush song "The Power of Love" became a minor hit, reaching #68. 

The whispers in the morning

Of lovers sleeping tight

Are rolling by like thunder now

As I look in your eyes

 

I hold on to your body

And feel each move you make

Your voice is warm and tender

A love that I could not forsake

 

'Cause you are my lady

And I am your man

Whenever you reach for me

I'll do all that I can

 

Lost is how I'm feeling

Lying in your arms

When the world outside's too much to take

That all ends when I'm with you

 

Even though there may be times

It seems I'm far away

Never wonder where I am

'Cause I am always by your side

 

'Cause you are my lady

And I am your man

Whenever you reach for me

I'll do all that I can

 

We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

 

The sound of your heart beating

Made it clear suddenly

The feeling that I can't go on

Is light years away

 

We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

 

We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

 

We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn of the power of love.
