Nothing at All


To say I need you near me
Is like saying I need air
And the sunshine is hot
And June is fair
To say I need you darling
Is simply to imply
That there could be another way
Other than you and I

To say a fish needs water
And a flower needs the rain
Or love doesn’t matter
And hope is in vain
Is to say there is no morning
And tears do not fall
It is simply like saying
Nothing at all

If the light in my eye
Or the plea in my smile
Or the hunger in my sigh
Tells you nothing at all
Then what good are words
But white lies in your ear
If you still have not heard
That I need you, my dear
