You Needed Me



-Artist: Anne Murray

-Words and Music by Randy Goodrum



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, 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 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 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, you needed me



You needed me, you needed me
