You're here looking like my best friend
Hoping you'll find a way
To tell me you just can't stay

You laughed hard at the world, I know
Now that the seasons show
To tell me, love, your heart will soon mend

We counted everyday
Only to show we needed each other

Who needs a reason to love
When friends just seem to know
They know it

You have lots of dreams, I know
Now it's the close of the show
Let's hope it'll all passes by in the end
So get yourself along
You're my best friend

Air Supply

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.
