You Needed Me

Anne Murray - 1978

(words & music by R. Goodrum)





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 on 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

And you were there

And I'll never leave

Why should I leave

I'd be a fool

'Cause I 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 on my own again

You put me high

Upon a pedestal

So high that I could almost see eternity

You needed me

You needed me
