Near
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.
As I lie in the dark
I see you so clear
Your face has been printed
In my mind, in my heart
For the rest of my years
We all need somebody
Someone who can be
The ground that we walk on
With strength that is anchored
Like a deep rooted tree
That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here
That why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away my dear
You are the one who makes me whole
The one I trust with all my body and soul
Darling I love you
I need you to know
Life isn't partial
No it doesn't choose
Those who are hurting
It's got nothing to do with
Who may win or lose
But fate is another
Story to be told
It's brought us together
Through all the dark weather
There's no love more bold
That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here
That why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away my dear
You are the one who makes me whole
I trust with all my body and soul
Darling I love you
I need you to know
That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here
That why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away my dear
You are the one who makes me whole
The one I trust with all my body and soul
Darling I love you
I need you to know
Darling I love you
I need you to know
