All I Ever Need
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
See your smile across the pillow
As the sun breaks through
In the early hours when the day is new
To lie by you
That's all I ever need
And when I go away
I know there's nothing in the world
Could ever make me stay
Part of you is there with me
Throughout the day
To feel that way
That's all I ever need
That's all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need
To come back home to you
To know you'll warm me with your love
The way you always do
In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need
That's all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need
In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need
That's all I ever need
