"You Needed Me"
(with Dottie West)

"You Needed Me"
(with Dottie West)



I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me.

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you, you were there
I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool, 'cause I've finally found someone
Who really cares.

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me...

"You Were A Good Friend"

"You Were A Good Friend"



If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad
'Cause tonight I've just lost the best friend I've ever had
You were a maverick running all away from New Orleans
We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night
When it was down to just you and me.

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me.

You said I got a home, boy
Haven't seen it for so long
Said I'm going home, boy
My work is done
I can feel it in my bones.

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me...

"You'll Know Love"

"You'll Know Love"



The night will start to fall
You'll lie awake recalling every tender thing she said
You'll think about her laugh
Her touch, her smile becomes a photograph
You can't forget
Not just yet.

You're gonna know that night
When you reach out an' she's not there
An' there's more pain than your heart can bear
Love's just a river till you've crossed it
Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong
You're alive but the reason's gone
You'll know love when you've lost it.

You'll know the taste of tears
You know you will for years,
'cause there's a treuth you can't get past
Some bridges will not burn
(Some bridges will not burn.)
But some corners must be turned so you can love again at last
And not look back.

Still until that that night
When you reach out an' she's not there
An' there's more pain than your heart can bear
Love's just a river till you've crossed it
Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong
You're alive but the reason's gone
You'll know love when you've lost it.

It's so easy to recognise
You'll know love when you've lost it...

"You're My Love"

"You're My Love"



You wanna know if I care for you
You ought to know by now
How can you stand there just pretending
And you know how I feel.

'Cause baby, you're my love
And I love everything you do to me
You're my love
And I love when you're around
You're my love
And I've never let you down.

You wanna know what I see you
I can really say it for sure
All I know is I need you
More than I've ever needed
Anyone else before.

'Cause baby, you're my love
And I love everything you do to me
You're my love
And I love when you're around
You're my love
And I've never let you down.

Seasons changing faster than they do
And we'll be gone
It's funny but we didn't seem to care
The only thing we cared about
Was keeping you out, our strong
As long as you're there
I'll always care...

"You're Not Asking Much"

"You're Not Asking Much"



You say you want to take me where I've never been
You make me feel like I'm in heaven
You say you want to know me just the way I am
And hold me as close as you can

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
You don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

You want me to surrender the secrets of my soul
And tell you all there ever is to know
You want me to promise that you will always be
The only one who watches over me

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
And you don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

You're the one who makes it easy to give
You know I'm gonna love you as long as I live

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
You don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"
(originally by The Righteous Brothers)
(with Dottie West)



You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your finger tips
You're tryin' hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're startin' to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
And I can't go on, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away.

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone and I can't go on...
