Love is in the air everywhere I look around love is in the air
Every sight and every sound and I don't know if I'm being
Foolish don't know if I'm being wise but it's something that I
Must believe in and it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air, in the whisper of the tree, love is in the
Air in the thunder of the sea, and I don't know if I'm just
Dreaming, don't know if I feel safe, but it's something that I
Must believe in and it's there when you call out my name
Love is in the air, love is in the air, oh, oh, oh, oh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun, love is in the
Air, when the day is nearly done, and I don't know if you are
Illusion, don't know if I see truth, but you are something
That I must believe in, and you are there when I reach out for
You
Love is in the air everywhere I look around love is in the air
Every sight and every sound and I don't know if I'm being
Foolish don't know if I'm being wise but it's something that I
Must believe in and it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air, love is in the air, oh, oh, oh, oh, uh
Uh, uh, uh

John Parr

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
