Lyrics When I Need You - Luther Vandross

No one knows the side of you that I know
No one gets to see, to feel you
To hear you when they call
I′m the only one you answer
Because I know what to do
I know what to do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can′t take the place of your smile
But I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I′m with you
And all that I so wanna give you
Is only a heartbeat away

It′s not easy when the road is your driver
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear
But I won′t be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah

But I won′t be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, ooh, honey, hold out, yeah, yeah
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I′m with you, baby
And all that I so wanna give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Honey, when I need you
(I'm in a cloud and I'm holding my hand out to you)
(Holding my hand out to you)
(Holding my hand out for you)
(You)
