Lyrics
When I need you
Expressing a need for someone
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
Finding solace by imagining being with the person when closing eyes
And all that I so want to give you
Desire to give something meaningful to the person
It's only a heartbeat away
Emphasizing the closeness and accessibility of fulfilling the desire
When I need love
Expressing the need for love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Reaching out for love with open hands
I never knew there was so much love
Discovering a depth of love previously unknown
Keeping me warm night and day
Describing love as a source of warmth day and night
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
Highlighting physical distance and the limitations of communication
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
Acknowledging the inability of the telephone to replace a genuine smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
Assuring that the separation is temporary, not permanent
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do
Encouraging to endure the cold times and remain steadfast
When I need you
Reiteration of the emotional reliance on the person
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
Revisiting the idea of being with the person in thoughts
And all that I so want to give you babe
Reiterating the desire to give something significant
It's only a heartbeat away
Reaffirming the closeness and immediacy of fulfilling the desire
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Acknowledging the challenges when life is unpredictable
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
Comparing life's challenges to a heavy burden
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
Expressing optimism about not enduring difficulties forever
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Encouraging to endure the challenges with resilience
Oh, I need you
Reiterating the personal need for the person
When I need love
Expressing the ongoing need for love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Reaching out for love with open hands again
I never knew there was so much love
Expressing surprise at the abundance of love
Keeping me warm night and day
Describing the continuous warmth provided by love
When I need you
Reiteration of the emotional dependence on the person
Just close my eyes
Emphasizing the immediacy of being with the person in thoughts
And you're right here by my side
Highlighting the comforting presence of the person
Keeping me warm night and day
Reaffirming the continuous warmth provided by love
I just hold out my hands
Repeating the action of reaching out for love
I just hold out my hand
Reiterating the act of reaching out for the person
And I'm with you darlin'
Expressing immediate closeness when reaching out
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
Affirming the presence and connection with the person
All I want to give you
Reiterating the desire to give something meaningful
It's only a heartbeat away
Emphasizing the closeness and immediacy of fulfilling the desire
Oh I need you darling
Reiterating the personal need for the person
