Lyrics That Move Me

After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn’t find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here’s what I conclude
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
You don’t have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I’ve tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don’t you know it’s true
All I really need is you

How was I to know
We’d have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied your life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks for me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it’s true
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
We don’t have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I’ve tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Tryin’ but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I’m never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I’m gonna always love you so
Cause all I really need is you

Take a walk,
You can hardly breathe the air
Look around,
It’s a hard life everywhere
People talk,
But they never really care
On the street
There’s a feeling of despair

But everyday
There’s a brand new baby born
And everyday
There’s the sun to keep you warm
And it’s alright
Yeah, it’s alright

I’m alive
And I don’t care much for words of doom
If it’s love you need,
Well I’ve got the room
It’s a simple thing
That came to me when I found you
I’m alive
I’m alive

Every night
On the streets of Hollywood
Pretty girls
Want to give you something good
Love for sale,
It’s a lonely town at night
Therapy
For a heart misunderstood

But look around,
There’s a a flower on every street
Look around,
And, it’s growing at your feet
And everyday you can hear me say
That I’m alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I’ve got love
And love is all I really need to live
I’m alive
I’m alive

And everyday
There’s a brand new baby born
And everyway
There’s enough to keep you warm
And it’s okay
And I’m glad to say
That I’m alive

And I don’t care much for words of doom
If it’s love you got ,well I’ve got the room
It’s a simple thing
That came to me when I found you
I’m alive
I’m alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I’ve got love
And love is all I really need to live
I’m alive
I’m alive

And I don’t care much for words of doom
If it’s love you need,
Well I’ve got the room
It’s a simple thing that came to me

And thank God I’m alive
I can take all that life has got to give
If I got someone to share it with
I got love and love is all you really need
I’m alive

Oh Mary
Can you hear my song?
Does it make a mournful sound?
I sang it once when first i saw you
And i sing it to you now.
Oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh Mary oh
Talking bout love

Standing right beside me
And we finally had it right

It was the third of June
On that summer’s day
When I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn’t so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung

Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
‘Til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desiree, you make it right

Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget

Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
‘Til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember Desiree

Love you so much
Can’t count all the ways
I’d die for you girl
And all they can say is
“He’s not your kind”

They never get tired
Of puttin’ me down
And I never know
When I come around
What I’m gonna find
Don’t let them make up your mind

Don’t you know
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Soon you’ll need a man

I’ve been misunderstood
For all of my life
But what they’re sayin’,
Girl, just cuts like a knife
“The boy’s no good”

Well, I finally found
What I’ve been looking for
But if they get the chance,
They’ll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I’ve done all I could

It’s up to you
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Soon you’ll need a man
Soon you’ll need a man…..
