Close your eyes and fill the skies
With cotton candy clouds
Step inside the rainbow
Ride where dragonflies sing loud

Colors falling, butterflies and flowers
Paint the ground
Cuckoos calling, do I have to go
And it's hard, so hard to forget her

This is where we always said
That everything is real
Hanging from a spider's web
The valleys and the fields

Follow me inside the tree
And catch me if you can
Someone else is playing in the sand
And it's hard, so hard to forget her

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.
