When I Need You
Embracing Love's Echo: When Hearts Connect
Lyrics
When I need you
Expressing a moment of longing or desire for someone.
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
Imagining being with the person by closing one's eyes.
And all that I so want to give you
Desire to offer something meaningful to the person.
It's only a heart beat away
Suggesting emotional closeness, with the person's presence being very near.
When I need love
Expressing a need for love.
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Reaching out for love symbolically by extending hands.
I never knew there was so much love
Surprised by the abundance of love received.
Keeping me warm night and day
Feeling comforted and warmed by love consistently.
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
Highlighting physical and emotional distance between the speaker and the person.
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
Expressing the limitations of technology in replacing the personal connection.
But you know I wont be traveling for ever
Assuring that the separation is temporary.
It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do
Encouraging to endure difficulties and be resilient.
When I need you
Reiterating the feeling of needing the person.
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
Recalling the closeness through imagination.
And all that I so want to give you babe
Reiterating the desire to give something significant to the person.
It's only a heart beat away
Emphasizing the proximity of emotions.
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Acknowledging the challenges when the journey is the guiding force.
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
Describing the burdens carried in a relationship.
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
Reassuring that the traveling or challenges won't last forever.
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Encouraging to endure despite the difficulties.
Oh I need you
Reiterating the strong need for the person.
When I need you
Repeating the emotional need for the person.
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Symbolically reaching out for love again.
I never knew there was so much love
Expressing surprise at the abundance of love received.
Keeping me warm night and day
Continuing to feel warmth and comfort from love.
When I need you
Repeating the theme of imagining closeness through closed eyes.
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
Reiterating the desire to give something meaningful.
And all that I so want to give you
Emphasizing the emotional proximity once again.
It's only a heart beat away
Highlighting the closeness, suggesting that what is desired is very near.
