Lyrics - I Need You

I Need You
Recorded by Declan Ryan & The Regal Showband
1965 - Emerald 45MD1014 / Hurtin’ Inside

If you should ever think of leaving me, don't let it go too far
The love of a lifetime, darling that's what you are,
And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you
To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do.

Every single day my love for you keeps growing more and more,
The lips of an angel never kissed me before,
And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you
To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do.

It took an awful lot of looking to find you, oh what a time I've been through,
But darling it's not very easy finding an angel like you.

Two of us together hand in hand, we stand at heaven's door,
Together forever, I'll be yours ever more,
And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you
To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do.
I need you, honest I do.

(Original recording by Rick Nelson, 1962)
