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's 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

This 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's 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's 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
