Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
[Verse 3]
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
[Verse 4]
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you baby
It's only a heartbeat away
[Verse 5]
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
When I need you
[Verse 6]
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
[Verse 7]
(When I need you) When I need love
(I just close my eyes and I'm with you) When I need you
I close my eyes (And all that I so want to give you) I just close my eyes
I hold out my hand and I've got you darlin'
It's only a heartbeat away, now listen
[Verse 8]
(When I need you) When I need you darlin'
Hold you, feel you, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh
(All that I so want to give you) Give it to me, baby
(Show you) Ahh, show yah, show me how, show me how
(Love and I'm only a heartbeat away) Oh yeah, sing it for me
(When I need you, when I need love) Ooh
(Touch me) Touch me darlin'
Till I feel yah, yeah
Oh, I missed you (Ooh-hoo)
So much love, so much love, so much love (So much real love)
(It's cold out, so hold out, and do like I do) I miss you, well I miss you
Hold on for me
[Verse 9]
Well, I miss you baby
Just closed my eyes and I'm with you
And I need you tonight
You know what?
It's only a heartbeat away
