I Need You Most

There are a thousand other things I should do
But, I just need to tell you how much I need you
I need you when the times are good
And I need you when things get rough
When I think I’ve failed you
And you tell me I’ve succeeded 
The many times I say the wrong thing
And then you have the words to lift me up
When my confidence begins to waver 
You’re the one who I know believes in me
When my course needs correcting
And my ship is going astray
It’s you I need to keep me going right
It’s your look, your touch, your smile
The words from your heart 
Or the kiss from your lips 
Those are the things I need the most
When you tell me you need me
Or when you don’t really need me at all
That’s the time I need you most
It’s not saying you love me
But it’s the way you show it everyday
That’s why I need you most
