[Verse 1]
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch, love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

[Chorus]
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travellin' forever
It's cold out but hold out
And do like I do

[Verse 2]
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat away

[Chorus]
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 travellin' a lifetime
It's cold out so hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
