I met you all alone yesterday
You knew my life was beating fast
The words I planned all walked away
And left us holding what we have

We shouldn't stay this long together
I came to tell you and now I know
The only chance of a love forever
Went so many years ago

I've told you there's nothing I can do
I've told you I've got to get to you

I'm not trying to bring you down
I know you can bring me out my darkness
I'm just trying to find your name
I'm just trying to find your name

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.
