I Need 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.
If you should ever think of leaving me don't let it go too far
The love of a lifetime, darling, that's what you are
I know I could never ever stop loving you
No man is an island and I need you, honest I do.
Every single day my love for you keeps growing more and more
The lips of an angel never kissed me before
And now that I've found you I'll be counting on you
To love me forever 'cause I need you, honest I do.
It took an awful lot of looking to find you
Oh, what a time I've been through
'Cause darling it's not very easy
Finding an angel like you.
The two of us together hand in hand we stand at heaven's door
Together forever I'll be yours evermore
Through all of my lifetime I'll be counting on you
To love me forever 'cause I need you, honest I do...
