When I Wanted You Lyrics - Perry Como

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 hands and I touch love 

I never knew there was so much love 

Keeping me warm night an' day! 

A thousand miles of empty space in between us 

A telephone can take the place of your smile 

But you know I won't be travellin' forever 

It's cold out, but hold out an 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, 

It's only a heartbeat away! 

It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! (goodbye, love!) 

Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare! 

But you know I won't be travellin' a lifetime! 

It's cold out, but hold out 

An do like I do! 

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 an' day! 

When it's cold out, 

Hold out an do like I do 

When I need you!
