Tony Bennett/Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before
I knew someone warm like you
Who have made my dreams come true
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say this is mine you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
For once I can say this is mine you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me

Fecho os olhos ...ne transporto pra dentro da música, ela toca minha alma, impossível não me emocionar, como gosto desse poder da música! Coisa divina..

I really think Marc needs to do an album of love songs, this included, with the same kind of arrangement strength behind him, or, a bossa nova album, same context. He's a wonderful crooner.

What an honor for Marc to show his talent next to the master.

Tony Bennet is priceless. Such a voice and style are ageless. Not even Il Divo, younger voices, can outnatch his golden, mellow tones, his easy, elegent singing style
