Heather Headley - Because You Need Me Lyrics

Where was I before your love?
Drifting like the clouds above.
And who was I before I knew your name?
A song without a melody,
A road without a destiny.
And how could I have ever known you'd touch me
And I'll never be the same.

The world is open to me, now,
With you I feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.

I've always had this love to give,
But never had a strength within
To be great enough to love with all I am.
You saved me from a wasted night,
You tell me that I saved your life,
A flower crawling for the rain,
I said a prayer for you and then you came.

The world is open to me, now,
With you I feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.

And in your eyes I know where I belong
And here, beside your heart, you keep me strong.
You are the reason I could carry on,
Because you need me.

All because you need, all because you need me.

The world is open to me, now,
With you I feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.

You need me.
