Just When I Needed You Most
Dolly Parton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
Just when I needed you most
Yes, you left me
Just when I needed you most
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me
'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Yes, you left me
Just when I needed you most
You packed in the morning
I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I love you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
You left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, you left me
Just when I needed you most

You packed in the morning
You left me without warning
I stared out the window
I watched you as you left
And I struggled for something to say
I had no words to persuade you to stay
You left in the rain without closing the door
You didn't look back, you just walked out of my life
I didn't stand in your way
I didn't try to stop you
Now I miss you more
My heart aches more each day
Than I missed you before
I thought I missed you enough, but it's worse now that you're gone
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
I'm lost without you, and don't know where to turn for comfort
'Cause you left me
Your absence left a void in my life
Just when I needed you most
You left me at my lowest point
Yes, you left me
You're the one who caused my pain and sorrow
Now most every morning
Every morning begins with thoughts of you
I stare out the window
I look out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of you
I think about where you might be
I wonder if you're thinking of me too
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
I've poured my heart out in letters that I wish you'd receive
If you would just send one to me
If only you'd respond, my heart would have some hope
'Cause I need you more
My need for you has grown stronger
Than I needed before
My dependence on you has increased
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
I'm lost without you, and don't know where to turn for comfort
Oh, you left me
You're the one who caused my heart to break
Just when I needed you most
You left me at my lowest point

You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most
Now most every morning, I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me
'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most
