Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are all that I need, I will never be alone
You are the joy that floods my soul; you are the source that makes me whole
There's no place I rather be then close to you
You can take away, everything that I own
You are all that I need, I will never be alone
You are the joy that floods my soul; you are the source that makes me whole
I want to be, close to you
I want to be just where you are
In that secret place
Where I can see you face to face
There's no place I rather be than close to you
You can take away, everything that I own
You are all that I need, I will never be alone
