You Needed Me

Deep in the night, I heard a call of desparate need No words were uttered, not a sound was made Was it your heart searching, reaching out for me Desire was not the issue, passion not at stake You had fallen ill with fever, your body did ache A soothing hand, a cool drink and me by your side Was all that you needed, all that you required Is this a milestone that we have passed As our relationship continues to grow I want to be the one to take care for you Now and each day as we grow old Love is more than passion and hunger in the night Love is being together, someone to hold you tight To take care of you in sickness and in health To be at your side forever whatever life does bring
