Oh so many songs came to mind when I saw the theme for today’s Song Lyric Sunday. In the end, I asked Robert to pick one from my list. I am very satisfied with his choice.
This is a beautiful song, beautiful! Leo Sayer had tremendous success when he recorded the very moving lyrics to the track “When I Need You”. If you have ever felt this way about someone, you will melt when you read over these 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 The telephone can't take the place of your smile But you know I won't be travelin' 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 me warm night and day I just hold out my hands I just hold out my hand And I'm with you darlin' Yes, I'm with you darlin' All I wanna give you It's only a heartbeat away Oh, I need you darling
One of his best songs!
