I need you

I need you, need you like the air I breathe,
With you I feel I am alive,
With you my thoughts and heart's echo I perceive,
Stay with me, I beg you, don't leave my side.

Should I tell you all that's on my mind?
Of all that fills my heart today?
When through the noisy streets I wind,
Or silent in the rain I stay.

Chorus:

And my heart quietly swoons in pain.
I sing and cry within my soul.
But don't let this your peace profane,
I'll handle it, I'll reach my goal.


Do I dare? Do I even have the right?
My heart just wants to scream and shout!
So I could stand by you, a welcome sight,
So I could hold you, never without.


So at night, embraced, in starry light
We silently could watch the sky,
But these are just dreams taking flight,
That in a heart may dwell and lie.

Chorus:

And my heart quietly swoons in pain.
I sing and cry within my soul.
But don't let this your peace profane,
I'll handle it, I'll reach my goal.
