I've travelled through my share of sorrows
And we have had our ups and downs
And I always knew that beg, steal or borrow
That it felt so good having you around
In my life
I've had some good friends
But no one knows me
Like you do

I need your love
Like a river needs the sea
Like the sun is in the sky
Like a baby needs to cry
That's how much you mean to me
I need your love
Like an eagle has to fly
And as the light begins the dawn
You give me strength to carry on, I know
I need your love
Well in my life
I've had some good friends
You know, no one knows me
Like you do

I need your love
Like a river needs the sea
Like the sun is in the sky
Like a baby needs to cry
That's how much you mean to me
I need your love
Like an eagle has to fly
And as the light begins the dawn
You give me strength to carry on, I know
I need your love
Well in my life
I've had some good friends
You know, no one knows me
Like you do
