I need you
like a flower needs the sun
like a tree needs the river
For warmth, substance, and life.
I need you...
I need you
like a baby needs the momma
like an ocean needs the land
For heart, strength, and love.
I need you... I need you...
I need your loving in the night,
I need your arms holding me tight,
I need you...
I need your strength when I am weak,
I need your heart when I am meek,
I need you...
I need you
like thunder needs the lightning
like hours need the minuetes
For sound, measure, and light
I need you...
When I was young
lost and alone, in the dark of night,
without any guide of light
that I could see... I needed you...
When I was young
No one there to walk with me
No one there that I could see...
Just what was wrong
When I was young
all my thoughts, were of love
though my heart was just above
I sang my song... I needed you...
When all alone
and in the dark
What is feared
all comes to life
and haunts me
in the night...
I was all alone on that day
when I tripped and fell your way
there is where I wanted to stay
I knew what I was missin
someone to be kissin...
I needed you...
I need your loving in the night,
I need your arms holding me tight,
I need your strength when I am weak,
I need your heart when I am meek,
I need you presence when I'm alone
I need your light when I'm outshone...
'O I need you...
I need you...
I need you
like an sea needs the shore
like a beach needs the sand
I need you...
I need you.........
But you don't need me!!!

Very good
It made me think of God. Though he doesn't need me he gave son son for me so I must be precious, right?

Awe!! (.^_^.).\/
I love it... And if there is a tune to it... I want to hear it....
I like the second stanza best...
"I need your loving in the night,
I need your arms holding me tight,
I need you...
I need your strength when I am weak,
I need your heart when I am meek,
I need you..."
This is truly beautiful... I'm in awe!!! Totally!!! \(.^_^.)/

I think we can all relate to this one. It was rather cliche, but you pulled it off. Excellent work. And I think the fact that I was listening to Open Arms while reading this might have helped you.
Thanks for entering and best of luck in the contest.
