You’re All That I Need
Words by Emily Friend
Music by Simon Rushby
© Simon Rushby 2007

Like air to a drowning soul
Like guitar to rock and roll
Like a ride when the road is long
Like the melody to a song
Like an aspirin when my head is aching
Like a steady rock when the room is shaking
Like the torch I need in a darkened room
Like the help I crave when the pressures loom

You're all that I need
You're all that I see
You're all that I need
You're all I can be
If you were to go
I'd crumble and fall
You're all that I need
To get through it all
Like a map when I’ve lost my way
A phrasebook when I don't know what to say
Like a blanket when the cold winds blow
A pick-me-up when I'm feeling low
Like a lifeline when my ship is sinking
Like the only one who knows what I'm thinking
Like a single truth in a bed of lies
Like a patch of blue in the cloudy skies

You're all that I need
You're all that I see
You're all that I need
You're all I can be
If you were to go
I'd crumble and fall
You're all that I need
To get through it all

And if one day you said goodbye
I wouldn’t know what else to say
But if you said please stay with me
I'd never walk away

You're all that I need (my favourite thing)
You're all that I see (the song that I sing)
You're all that I need (my natural high)
You're all that I can be (the star in my sky)
If you were to go
I’d crumble and fall
You're all that I need
To get through it all
