G D
Dreamin' by the fire
C G
at the Gulf of Mexico
Am C
Somebody's playin' a lovesong
G D
With a six string homesick tone
G D
Memories of summer
C G
the first time we made love
Am C
And a promise left unspoken
G D
I saw in a shooting star
Em C
The Southern wind was blowin'
G D
as if he wants to say
Em C
The words I whispered in my heart
D
Only yesterday
G C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
G
You're the air I wanna breathe
C9 D
Girl you're everything I need
G C9
My shining star that's what you are
Am
And as long my heart will beat
C D Em C D
You'll be everything everything I need
G D
The fire is still burning
C G
I was humming to the song
Am C
Couldn't think of all the words
G D
So I made them up my own
G D
Like a secret door that opens
C G
these words just set me free
Am C
And the promise left unspoken
G D
was the owner of the key
Em C
Oh the Southern wind keep blowin'
G D
please carry me back home
Em C
There's somebody who is waiting
D
and I've gotta let her know
G C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
G
You're the air I wanna breathe
C9 D
Girl you're everything I need
G C9
My shining star that's what you are
Am
And as long my heart will beat
C D G
You'll be everything everything I need
C9 G C9 D
G C9 Am C D
Em C
And when Southern Winds are blowin'
G D
they might even bring some rain
Em C
But the promise left unspoken
D
will always be the same
D
Always be the same
G C9
You're my only one my risin' sun

You're the air I wanna breathe

My shining star that's what you are
