When
Celine Dion & Julio Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(When I need you)
(When I need love)
(I just close my eyes and I'm with you)
(You're only a heartbeat away)

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 hands 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
Ooh, 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 heartbeat 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 but hold out and do like I do

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

Oh, when I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you (I just close my eyes)
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you (when I need)




All that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
