Lyrics

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

And all that I so wanna 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 and day

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

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

And all that I so wanna give you, babe

It's only a heartbeat away

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

Oh, I need you

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 and day

When I need you

I just close my eyes

And you're right here by my side

Keeping my warm night and day

I just hold out my hands

I just hold out my hands

And I'm with you, darling

Yes, I'm with you, darling

All I wanna give you

It's only a heartbeat away
