I Know Love Is All I Need

Rodney Crowell · Houston Kid [2001]

So I'm an orphan, now, out here on my own

And it's hard to know where I belong

It comes as no surprise, it happens to us all

Just like the sun will rise, night will fall



I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know



An image I recall, a picture on the wall

Of my mother on her wedding day

A young and na' nothing up her sleeve

But the things that just got lost along the way



And I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know



And there's a voice I hear, it comes in loud and clear

It's my father's voice teaching me

He says, "To be a man you've got to be true to your word

And when you make a stand you'll be heard"



And I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know



I can see it in my children, I can feel it with my wife

And I know it with these friends I have

So important to my life



I had a dream last night, I saw my mom and dad

They were happy now and I was glad

They had a brand new house that they'd just moved in

And when I awoke they were gone again



But I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know



But I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know



But I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

I know love is all I need

That's all I know
