You Needed Me
Anne Murray Lyrics

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
When I was hurt and in pain, you comforted me and made me feel better.

I was confused, you cleared my mind
When I was lost and unsure, you helped me find my way and think clearly.

I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
When I gave up my integrity and values, you helped me regain them and become a better person.

And held me up and gave me dignity
When I was feeling low and worthless, you supported me and helped me feel worthy and respected.

Somehow you needed me
I'm not sure why, but you found value and importance in me, even when I didn't see it myself.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
You helped me find the courage and confidence to face challenges and overcome them on my own.

To face the world out on my own again
You encouraged me to be independent and self-sufficient, and trusted that I could handle whatever came my way.

You put me high upon a pedestal
You held me in such high regard, even when I didn't think I deserved it.

So high that I could almost see eternity
Your belief in me was so strong and unwavering that it felt like it would last forever.

And I can't believe it's you
I'm amazed and grateful that someone as wonderful as you cares for me.

I can't believe it's true
It's hard to accept that I could be so fortunate to have you in my life.

I needed you and you were there
When I needed someone the most, you were always by my side and dependable.

And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I have no reason to ever want to leave you or our relationship.

I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
I know that finding someone who loves and cares for me like you do is rare and precious.

You held my hand when it was cold
You provided comfort and warmth to me when I was feeling vulnerable and lonely.

When I was lost, you took me home
When I was feeling confused and directionless, you helped me find my way and feel safe.

You gave me hope when I was at the end
When I felt like there was no hope left, you inspired and encouraged me to keep going.

And turned my lies back into truth again
You helped me confront my mistakes and dishonesty, and showed me how to be truthful and honest again.

You even called me 'friend'
You not only see me as a valuable partner, but also as a trustworthy and cherished friend.

You needed me, you needed me
Despite all of my imperfections and shortcomings, you still value and need me in your life.
