I NEED YOU

If you should ever think of leaving me, don't let it go too far
The love of a lifetime, darling that's what you are
I know I could never ever stop loving you
No man is an island and I need you, honest I do

Every single day my love for you keeps growing more and more
The lips of an angel never kissed me before
And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you
To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do

It took an awful lot of lookin' to find you
Oh, what a time I've been through
'Cause, darlin' it's not very easy finding an angel like you

Two of us together hand in hand, we stand at Heaven's door
Together forever, I'll be yours evermore
Through all of my lifetime I'll be counting on you
To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do
I need you, honest I do
