"Lost in Love" is a song recorded by the British/Australian soft rock duo Air Supply. The song was written by group member Graham Russell. The original version of the song appeared on the Life Support album in 1979 and was released as a single in Australia, reaching number 13 on the Kent Music Report. The group re-recorded the song for the album of the same name in 1980 and this version was released as a single in the US, reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song reportedly took Russell just 15 minutes to write and the single was made in a single afternoon. It was among the first he wrote after returning to Australia from touring with Rod Stewart, yet found little work upon his return. Despite being short of money, Russell went on a retreat to South Australia, where he felt the solitude would help him to write new material.

Air Supply's popularity in their native country during the mid to late 1970s had not been matched elsewhere. Russell travelled to England in 1979, and while there, discovered that the group's Australian record label Big Time Records had sold "Lost in Love" to Arista Records in the United States for distribution. Soon thereafter, their song became a hit on the music charts in the US.

Cash Box described it as "soft rock, with elegant acoustic guitar work, glistening harmonies, light rhythm and electric piano touches." Record World called it a "willowy ballad," saying that "the soft vocals and smooth flow are well-suited for soft -rock fans and A/C -pop."

Lyrics:

I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can (feel you can)
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan (show you a plan)
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me (oh, oh-oh)
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long (I've been loving you too long)
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (on, carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
Lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
Lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love
Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
I'm lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
I'm lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love
