I've Got To Have You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my room
And before I realized the danger
I found myself looking into your eyes
Somewhere in their colors I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over
I've got to have you
Holding onto, talking, saying nothing
Knowing in a moment I could lose you
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over
I've got to have you
Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while your hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough
It's enough
I can't help it
I've got to have you
It's all over
I've got to have you
