I've Got to Have You
Kris & Rita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shyly moving, easy as a dreamer, into my world
Then before I realized the danger
I found myself staring into your eyes
Somewhere in their colors
I saw promises of things I'd never seen before
It's all over
Holding onto, talking, saying nothing
Knowing in a moment I could lose you
Then without a warning I remember
That you trembled at the touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me that
No one else would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over
I've got to have you
Waking in the morning to the
Tenderness of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while your hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek
I don't know the feeling, so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough, it's enough
It's all over
I've got to have you
I just can't help it, no
I've got to have you

You came smiling softly
You entered my life with a gentle and warm smile
Shyly moving, easy as a dreamer, into my world
You entered my world with a cautious grace, like a dreamer
Then before I realized the danger
Before I knew it, I was caught up in the potential risks
I found myself staring into your eyes
I couldn't help but be captivated by the depth in your eyes
Somewhere in their colors
Within the shades of your eyes
I saw promises of things I'd never seen before
I saw the potential for experiences I had never encountered
It's all over
There's no going back
I've got to have you
I desire to be with you
Holding onto, talking, saying nothing
We hold onto each other, our words unnecessary
Knowing in a moment I could lose you
Realizing that at any moment, you could be taken away from me
Then without a warning I remember
Suddenly, a memory strikes me
That you trembled at the touch of my hand
I recall how your body responded to the slightest touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me that
Understanding that when you approached me
No one else would ever feel the same in my arms
No one else would experience the same embrace as you
It's all over
There's no turning back
I've got to have you
I desire to be with you
Waking in the morning to the
When I wake up in the morning to
Tenderness of holding you asleep in my arms
The gentle and loving feeling of holding you while you're sleeping
Dreaming while your hair was blowing
In my dreams, I see your hair moving gracefully
Softer than a whisper on my cheek
As gentle as a whisper against my cheek
I don't know the feeling, so I don't know if it's love
I'm uncertain if what I feel is love since I haven't experienced it before
But it's enough, it's enough
However, this intense desire is sufficient
It's all over
There's no going back
I've got to have you
I yearn to be with you
I just can't help it, no
I simply cannot resist it
I've got to have you
I long to be with you

Kris and Rita made a majestic duo.
If they'd also known how to remain a solid couple the world would probably never have been deprived of a constant flow of their timeless country classics.
Cold Winter
Rita tried hard and was deeply in love with Kris. But he was a serious alcoholic and cheated on her all the time. There is only so much a person can take.

Cold Winter: Are you saying that Kris is the one to blame for the divorce? There is always to side of a story and Rita was not a saint. We will never know what realy happent between them,onley Kris And Rita knows.Yes i know that Kris was drinking alot and that he cheated on her, but that dident mean he dident love her. She took Casey with her and left when Kris was working on a movie,the onley thing Kris found when he came home was a letter. All i'm saying is,we cant blame Kris for everything because we dont know everything that happent betveen them.
