You're All I Need To Get By
Kenny Lattimore & Chanté Moore Lyrics

Like the sweet morning dew,
You are refreshing and bring a new sense of hope and happiness into my life.

I took one look at you,
Upon seeing you, I knew right away that you were meant to be in my life.

And it was plain to see you were my destiny.
It was very clear to me that you were the one who was meant to be with me for the rest of my life.

With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride.
I let go of any egotistical thoughts and opened myself completely to you.

I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life for you.
I am willing to give up anything for you and dedicate my entire life to making you happy.

I will go where you lead always there in time of need.
I will always follow your lead and be there for you whenever you need me.

And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill.
Whenever I am feeling downtrodden, you are there to lift me up and motivate me to keep going.

There's no, no looking back for us, we got love sure 'nough, that's enough.
We have such a strong love that there is no doubt in our minds that we are meant to be together, and that is all we need.

You're all, you're all I need to get by.
You are the only thing I need to keep going and be happy in life.

Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best,
Just as an eagle will do anything to protect its home, I will always do my best to protect you.

Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me.
I will be like a steadfast tree, standing strong by your side and not letting anything or anyone come between us.

Darlin' in you I found strength where I was torn down
You have given me the strength and courage to overcome difficult times in my life and to be a better person.

Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door.
Although we don't know what the future holds, we know that together we can overcome any obstacle.

Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher.
I want to do everything in my power to make you happy and to help you reach your full potential.

I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal.
You have the power to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of myself, even when I didn't have a clear direction in life.

'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination.
With a solid foundation of love and the determination to make it work, we can accomplish anything together.

You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more.
You are my motivation to strive for greatness and to always do a little more than what is expected.

All, all the joys under the sun wrapp'd up into one.
Being with you brings me all the happiness and joy that I could ever want in life.
