I Need You All the Time
Skeeter Davis · Not That Easy To Forget: The Early Years [1970]
I need happy music when I've feeling glad
Need hurtin' music when I'm feeling sad
I need to be reminded constantly that your heart still belongs to me
I need you all the time.
I need your lovin' arms around me day and night
Need your understanding when things don't go right
When things don't go my way I'm blue but not for long if I have you
I need you all the time.
I need you close to me when you're away I miss you
I never know when I might get the urge to kiss you
Reassure me that your loving heart is mine
I need you all the time.
--- Instrumental ---
I need your warm and tender kisses and your smile
Need your love to prove that life is still worth while
With your love and faith in me my dreams become reality
I need you all the time.
I need you close to me when you're away I miss you
I never know when I might get the urge to kiss you
Reassure me that your loving heart is mine
I need you all the time.
I need you all the time...
