When I Need You The Most
Lee Mead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So sweet, so fine.
Always on my mind.
I love you so.
Much more than you'll ever know.
You laugh, you smile.
You take my doubts away.
All day, all night...
That's when I need you the most.
That's when my heart feels like breaking
Each time you open your eyes.
And the higher I soar,
The deeper I fall
Each time I'm holding you close.
That's when I need you the most...
So real, so true.
That's what I see in you, yeah.
Not someday, somehow.
I wanna let you know right now.

That's when my heart feels like breaking
Each time you open your eyes.
And the higher I soar,
The deeper I fall
Each time I'm holding you close.
That's when I need you the most...
More than my soul can take.
To feel this much, to live this hard.
I'm giving hope to hold you in my arms...
My arms.

‘Til kingdom come,
you'll always be the one...

That's when my heart feels like breaking
Each time you open your eyes.
And the higher I soar,
The deeper I fall
Each time I'm holding you close.
That's when my heart feels like breaking
Each time you open your eyes.
And the higher I soar,
The deeper I fall.

Each time I'm holding you close,
That's when I need you the most.




Each time I'm holding you close,
That's when I need you the most...
