Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Harry Maslin

You're in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
This time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on

Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance, I need you

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

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.
