IF YOU NEED ME
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1980


If you want to know all reasons for
The things I feel inside
You can run away and hide if you want to.

But if you need me
Show me a way to get through
'Cause I've not seen anyone like you
Since I was a man.

If you want to know for certain
What is written in my soul
Where my wildest dreams unfold
Like an endless stream.

If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
'Cause I'd not seen anything at all
Until I met you.

Sun lights up the seasons
Blue eyes light up the night.
If you want to know the meaning of
These feelings that's alright
I could be with you tonightI swear I'd like to stay.

If you need me
Show me a love that is true
'Cause I've not seen a woman like you
Since I was a man.

If you want to know what magic lies
Beneath the halo'd moon
In each corner of each room
Where my love has strayed.

If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
'Cause I'd not seen anything at all
Until I met you.

If you need me
Show me a way to get through
'Cause I've not seen anyone like you
Since I was a man.
