When I need you  
I just close my eyes and I'm with you  
And all that I so want to give you  
Is 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 and day  

Miles and miles of empty space in between us  
The telephone can't take the place of your smile  
But you know I won't be travelling forever  
It's cold out  
So hold out  
And do like I do  

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 travelling a lifetime  
It's cold out  
So hold out  
And do like I do  
When I need you  

When I need you  
I just close my eyes  
And you're right by my side  
Keeping me warm night and day  
I just hold out my hand  
Hold out my hand  
And I'm with you  
All I wanna give you  
Is only a heartbeat away  
When I need you
