Darling dearest, it may have taken
A little longer than it should have
For me to realize just how much
How much I need you by my side
Like the flowers need the sun
Like the birds need to sing
Like you need me
I need you too
Darling dearest, you are so very close
To being everything that I need
You're only just a hair away
From fulfilling all my dreams
Like a church needs a steeple
Like a town needs its people
Like you need me
Like a singer needs a song
Like a year can feel so long
Like you need me
I need you too
Darling dearest, the way you make me feel
Is unlike what I've ever felt before
I hope that I don't need to say
That you're the one I still adore
So hold me close, and don't let go
Just hold me close
Like the fish need the water
Like a father needs a daughter
Like you need me
Like we all need a dollar
Like a teeter needs a taughter
Like you need me
I need you too
