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!



Can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true

I needed you and you were there

Though I'll never leave, why should I leave?

I'd be a fool, when I finally found someone who really cares!



Who really cares!

You held my hand ~ you held my hand

when it was cold ~ when it was cold

when I was lost ~ when I was lost

you took me home ~ you took me home



You put me high upon a pedestal

so high that I could almost see eternity

you needed me, you needed me . . .



. . . you needed me,

you needed me . . .
