Most the While-Natalie Gelman
Pack up my nerve
Keep on walking on my way
Keep on breathing one more day
Because you said so
What can I sing?
Something that will sway the crowd
Something real slow or real loud
You'll let me break my heart before you'll ever tell me that you love me
And I need you like young lovers need the spring
Like a June bride needs the ring
Like my heart needs to beat
Like the rhythm needs my feet
Come down easy for a while
See if you can make me smile
It's been hard to keep on going
'Cause I need you most the while
All of these words
Could just sit here on the page
Or I'll use them all up in a rage
While I try to get you to listen
What's in a note?
What's in all the notes in the world?
Besides broken hearts of all the young boys and girls
Who strummed away their dreams until they had none
And I need to you like the rainbow needs the sky
Like a hello needs goodbye
Like a song needs your ears
Like the music needs your tears
But it goes down easy for a while
'Til it's all I can do just to smile
And it's hard to keep on going
'Cause I need you most the while
I feel so small, I feel weighed down
It's the same lost faces but a different town
You lift me up but then you walk away ...all I'm trying to say...
Is I still need you like the stars need the night
Like the shadows need the light
And my life needs the pain
Cause I want you to know my name
But it goes down easy for a while
As I sing to make you smile
And it's hard to keep on going
'Cause I need you most the while
But I go down easy for a while
While I try, and try, and try to make you smile
And it's so hard to keep on going
But I need you most the while
