You Needed Me -- Anne Murray

I cried a tear You wiped it dry I was confused You cleared my mind
I sold my soul You bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world
Out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me

And I can't believe it's you  I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone  who really cares

You held my hand When it was cold When I was lost You took me home
You gave me hope When I was at the end And turned my lies
Back into truth again You even called me friend
You needed me You needed me                 (sing365)


"It was sort of an unconditional undeserved love. How could you love me as if I'm perfect, when I'm not? It was a disclaimer, sort of, for the other person. How could you need me? It's not exactly the same premise as 'I wouldn't belong to a club who'd have me as a member,' but it's a small sliver of unconditional love, which to me is a broad piece of pizza that you can take a lot of minute slivers from along the way.        (songfacts)
