Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I need you

When I need love

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

You're only a heartbeat away

[Verse 2]

Hey, yeah

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

And all that I so want to give you

It's only a heartbeat away

[Verse 3]

When I need love

I hold out my hands and I touch love

I never knew there was so much love

Keeping me warm, night and day

[Verse 4]

Miles and miles of empty space in between us

The telephone can't take the place of your smile

Ooh, but you know I won't be travelin' forever

It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do

[Verse 5]

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

And all that I so want to give you, baby

It's only a heartbeat away

[Verse 6]

It's not easy when the road is your driver

Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear

Mmm, but you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime

It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do

[Verse 7]

Mmm, when I need love

I hold out my hands and I touch love

And I never knew, oh, never knew there was so much love

Keeping me warm, night and day

[Verse 8]

Oh

When I need you

I just close my eyes and I'm with you (I just close my eyes)

And all that I so want to give you (Ah, right here by myself)

It's only a heartbeat away

When I need you (When I need, yeah)

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

(When I need) And all that I so want to give you

It's only a heartbeat away

When I need you (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

I just close my eyes and I'm with you
