Lyrics
Everything I Need
Well I dreamt last night that you were in my arms
And your kiss was soft and warm
And everything that I had ever hoped would be was born
Born where my dreams whisper to me
Life and love is everything I need
With you nearby to shelter me
In my fantasy your touch held hope for me
Your sweet eyes were so sincere
The want and the need that we both felt was always there
There where my dreams whisper to me
Life and love is everything I need
With you nearby to shelter me
I awoke in the chill of dawn's frozen light
Reaching out to pull you near
An arm full of empty in an old brass bed and I knew you weren't here
Here where my dreams whisper to me
Life and love is everything I need
You here nearby to shelter
Me from the day's reality
Life and love is everything I need
You here nearby to shelter me
