I've travelled through my share of sorrows

And we have had our ups and downs

And I always knew that beg, steal or borrow

That it felt so good having you around

In my life

I've had some good friends

But no one knows me

Like you do

I need your love

Like a river needs the sea

Like the sun is in the sky

Like a baby needs to cry

That's how much you mean to me

I need your love

Like an eagle has to fly

And as the light begins the dawn

You give me strength to carry on, I know

I need your love
