After all these years

After all these tears between us

Still I couldn't find

Someone half as right as you

And each time I stop to think

What it is I really need

Here's what I conclude

All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say

You don't have a chance in the world

Can I, knowing how I've tried

Still come close to losing you, girl

When you are my world

Have I spent so many years

Trying but in vain to tell you

Don't you know it's true

All I really need is you



How was I to know

We'd have ended here

Where we finally did

You tied you life to mine Once upon a starry night

And when someone asks of me

What it is that I believe

Say, I believe it's true

All I really need is you



Just say what you want to say

We don't have a chance in the world

Can I, knowin' how I've tried

Still come close to losing you, girl

When you are my world



Have I spent so many years

Tryin' but in vain to tell you

Feelings come and go

Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go

Promise you I'm gonna always love you so

'Cause all I really need is you
