When I need you
I just close my eyes, and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands, and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But, you know, I won't be travelling forever
It's cold out, so hold out and do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes, and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But, you know, I won't be travelling a lifetime
It's cold out, so hold out and do like I do

When I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands, and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're here right by my side
Keeping me warm night an day

I just hold out my hands, I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you, darling, yes, I'm with you, darling
All I gotta give you
Is only a heartbeat away...
