All I Really Need Is You
Eternal Love Unveiled: Neil Diamond's All I Really Need Is You
Lyrics
After all these years
Reflecting on the passage of time
After all these tears between us
Acknowledging past difficulties and emotional pain
Still I couldn't find
Despite searching, unable to find someone as right for him as the person addressed
Someone half as right as you
Expressing the uniqueness of the addressed person
And each time I stop to think
Contemplating the essential needs in life
What it is I really need
Considering and pondering personal desires
Here's what I conclude
Concluding that the ultimate need is the addressed person
All I really need is you
Affirming that the sole necessity is the presence of the person
Just say what you want to say
Encouraging open communication
You don't have a chance in the world
Expressing difficulty or unlikelihood of success
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Questioning the possibility of losing the addressed person despite efforts
Still come close to losing you, girl
Emphasizing the significance of the addressed person
When you are my world
Stating the immense importance of the person in one's life
Have I spent so many years
Reflecting on the passage of many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Struggling to convey a message to the person
Don't you know it's true
Asserting the truth of the feelings
All I really need is you
Reiterating that the person is all that is needed
How was I to know
Reflecting on the unpredictability of life's journey
We'd have ended here
Acknowledging the culmination of the relationship
Where we finally did
Describing the point where the relationship stands
You tied your life to mine
Highlighting the deep connection between lives
Once upon a starry night
Recalling a significant moment in time
And when someone asks for me
Referencing inquiries about personal beliefs
What it is that I believe
Expressing a belief in the truth of the relationship
Say, I believe it's true
Affirming that the person is all that is needed
All I really need is you
Reiterating the centrality of the person
Just say what you want to say
Encouraging open communication
We don't have a chance in the world
Expressing difficulty or unlikelihood of success
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Questioning the possibility of losing the addressed person despite efforts
Still come close to losing you, girl
Emphasizing the significance of the addressed person
When you are my world
Stating the immense importance of the person in one's life
Have I spent so many years
Reflecting on the passage of many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Struggling to convey a message to the person
Feelings come and go
Recognizing the transient nature of feelings
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Committing to never letting go of the person
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so
Promising eternal love to the person
Cause all I really need is you
Affirming that the person is all that is needed
