I rise at the break of day--your smile sets me on my way
i need you
see the light shinin' in your eyes--see the hopes that i realize
for you
i am alone...my odds are long...s'all i can do...
i need you...

take the road where the eagle flies--man follows where his fortune lies
i leave you
shadows fall and the day is done--the curtain calls but more than anyone
i need you
when i feel low...my amps they blow...when i feel blue
i need you...

and i forget all my sorrow, i forget all my pain
i relinquish my doubts at the sound of your name
i can feel your desire when i walk through that door
i believe in the power that can even the score

never knew it could take so long--never knew it could feel so wrong without you
they say a woman knows the reasons why--no man ain't supposed to cry
i need you
when after all...my tears they fall...when i pull through...
i need you...
