Only You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away
Want you near me
[Chorus]
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
[Verse 2]
Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you
[Chorus]
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
[Verse 3]
This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more (Can't take no more)
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door
[Chorus]
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew (All I ever knew)
Only you
