Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they need someone to be with
Well now that time and I want you to know
I want to be with you
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Patience is a virtue or so I'm told
Well that might just happen to be true
When I really what to be with you
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Love I need you now
I need you now oh how
Love I need you now
To be here by my side
I've found a feeling that I just can't lose
Each day I'm feeling it more
And you'll be first to hear my news
When I'm knocking at your door
I hope you feel like you did before
Love I need you now
I need you now oh how
Love I need you now
To be here by my side
Love I need you now
I need you now oh how
Love I need you now
To be here by my side

Darling, I need you now, there's a moon up so bright
I long for you now, the sight of the shining moon in the sky only amplifies my loneliness
It's a warm night and I am lonely, I need you now
The night is warm and inviting but I feel lonely without you beside me, I need your presence
Darling, I need you now, there's a soft wind
Even the gentle breeze that blows by reminds me of your absence, I need you now
And slowly creeping in and upsetting me, I need you now
The wind is a constant reminder that something is missing, it slowly upsets me and I need you to fill that void
Lovers are walking hand in hand in the street
I see couples in love walking together in public, sharing their happiness with each other
They're in parked cars and in doorways they meet
Lovers find ways to be close, parking their cars or standing in doorways to share a kiss, a hug or a moment
They're in the park, on the grass, on the seats
The park is full of loving couples, sitting on the grass or benches, enjoying each other's company and affection
And here I am left here, I'm all alone
I am alone, watching these loving couples, reminded of what I am missing and wishing you were here with me
Darling, I need you now, cut your vacation short
I need you so much that I am asking you to shorten your vacation and come back to me as soon as possible
And come on back, you better send for me
I'm willing to go to you if you need me there, but please come back and be with me if you can
You better send for me 'cause I need you now
I'm reminding you again that I need you desperately and would do anything to be with you right now

Been in music my whole life. Almost 60 now and I feed off of music no matter the label that is applied. Brother, you and Caitlynn have renewed my appetite and my hope for food I thought was extinct. Raw truth in you're lyrics unmatched by those blinded by the deceiver and his empty promises. To both of you, do not bend to it, you will lose the gift that has been laid upon you both and wont even realize it until its too late. These words I have just told you, I lived and I now regret. I won't forget the day the deceiver promised my dream,,,, if I.... That was the day my gift was taken from me unknowingly. Now, 40 years later,,,, emptiness. Stay true!! Less riches maybe, but when you're done, you will feel it, still alive inside and it will feel so damn good!!
