Really thought that I could live without you
Really thought that I could make it on my own
Sent you away, yeah, I said, I didn't need you
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Now, I'm so lost without you
Now, you're not here and now I know

Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely am I

Never thought that I that I would need you
Never thought that I that I'd be missing you
Gotta get you back, I just got to find a way now
To let you know, to let you know, to let you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world it just ain't right

Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely am I

I can make it through the day, I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend, and I tell myself I'll be alright
But lonely is the night, lonely is the night

Now, I'm so lost without you
Now, you're not here and now I know

Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely is the night

Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side
Lonely is the night

Lonely is the night, when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms, till you're here by my side

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
