I've travelled through my share of sorrows 
And we have had our ups and downs 
And I always knew that beg, steal or borrow 
That it felt so good having you around 

In my life 
I've had some good friends 
But no one knows me 
Like you do 

I need your love 
Like a river needs the sea 
Like the sun is in the sky 
Like a baby needs to cry 
That's how much you mean to me 

I need your love 
Like an eagle has to fly 
And as the light begins the dawn 
You give me strength to carry on, I know 
I need your love
