Lyrics
‘Til the rivers all run dry
‘Til the sun falls from the sky
‘Til life on earth is through
I’ll be needin’ you
I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there’s no need for you to wonder
If I need you, ’cause I’ll need you
‘Til the rivers all run dry
‘Til the sun falls from the sky
‘Til life on earth is through
I’ll be needin’ you
Too many times, I don’t tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way
‘Til the rivers all run dry
‘Til the sun falls from the sky
‘Til life on earth is through
I’ll be needin’ you
