When I Need You Lyrics

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away!

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!

A thousand miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travellin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out an do like I do!

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away!

It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! ( goodbye, love! )
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare!

But you know I won't be travellin' a lifetime!
It's cold out, but hold out
An do like I do!
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!

When it's cold out
Hold out an do like I do
When I need you!
