I Need You Now

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

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 ease my achin' heart but you'd know how

If I ever needed you, I need you now



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 ease my achin' heart, Honey, you'd know how

If I ever needed you, I need you now
