I Need You Now
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
If I ever needed you I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do.
No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can't ease my aching heart honey you know how
If I ever needed you I need you now.
--- Instrumental ---
No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can't ease my aching heart honey you know how
If I ever needed you I need you now...
