Most Of All
Don Cornell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Most of all
I need your warm embrace
No one can take your place
I need you most of all.

Most of all
I miss your sweet caress
Truly, I must confess
I need you most of all.

When I sleep at night
I dream wonderful, wonderful dreams of you
But when I awake
No one's there and that's why I'm so blue.

Most of all
The one thing that I miss
The way we use to kiss
I need you most of all.

When I sleep at night
I dream wonderful, wonderful dreams of you
But when I awake
No one's there and that's why I'm so blue.

Most of all
The one thing that I miss




The way we use to kiss
Baby I need you most of all.
