when i need you 
i just close my eyes and i'm with you 
and all that i so want to give you 
it's only a heart beat 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 you know 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 want to give you baby 
it's only a heart beat away 
it's not easy when the road is your driver 
honey that's a heavy load that we bear 
but you know i won't be traveling a lifetime 
it's cold out so hold out and do like i do 
when i need you 
when i need love 
i hold out my hands and i touch love 
i never knew there was so much love 
keeping me warm night 
and day 
when i need you 
i just close my eyes and i'm with you 
and all that i so want to give you baby 
it's only a heart beat 
away 
when i need love 
i hold out my hands and i touch love 
i never knew there was so much love 
keeping me warm night and day
