When I Need You - Luther Vandross

No one knows the side of you that I know

No one gets to see, to feel you

To hear you when they call

I’m the only one you answer

Because I know what to do

I know what to do

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I’m with you

And all that I so want to give you

Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love

I hold out my hand 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 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 want to give you

Is only a heartbeat away

It’s not easy when the road is your driver

But honey that’s the heavy load that we bear

But I won’t be traveling a lifetime

It’s cold out, but hold out

And do like I do

When I need you

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, ooh yeah

But I won’t be traveling a lifetime

It’s cold out, ooh honey, hold out, yeah yeah

And do like I do

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I’m with you, baby

And all that I so want to give you

Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love

I hold out my hand and I touch love

I never knew there was so much love

Keeping me warm night and day

Honey, when I need you

I’m in a cloud and I’m holding my hand out to you

Holding my hand out to you

Holding my hand out for you
