A Little Piece of Something

I started to write this weeks ago, I couldn't finish, I'm sure you know. So now I've sat down to try again. It's gone through changes cus of what's happened. I remember that first day I saw you, You were walking towards me, I looked away. I was feeling clumsy, lost for words to say. All I heard were good things about you, Good things you proved true. I need you to know you're a little piece of something, I can't live without. I hold your memory so close inside me, Feelings I never understood, till I was lonely. I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch. I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me. I need to know you're close, I need to know you care. But most of all, I just need to know you're there. All the colour is fading away, My life is fading to shades of gray. My tears crash down and break apart, But now my tears become my heart. You showed me a little piece of something, I never thought could be. I found a little piece of something, Growing between you and me. I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch. I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me. I need to know you're close, I need to know you care. But most of all, I just need to know you're there. I'm falling alone, I'm finding nothing on my own. I'm losing control, I'm losing it all. I can smile and I can laugh, But it's not the same as it could be. Sure, you can smile and you can laugh, But it's not as good as it should be, If you were with me. I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch. I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me. I need to know you're close, I need to know you care. But most of all, I just need to know you're there. You hold my heart and you're unaware, I wish that you were always there. You hold my heart and you're unaware, I wish that you were always there. I just need you to know how I feel, I just need you to know how I feel, Understand, my feelings are real. I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch. I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me. I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch. I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me. I need to know you're close, I need to know you care. But most of all, I just need to know you're there.

Thanks very much. "I can't smile without you" is really a beautiful song, I'm really happy my lyrics could make you think of such a song. What I have for the music of this song is just some light acoustic guitar. Thanks again.
