I Need You
Only three months after marrying Roslyn, and I was living my dream, deep in love, and with love still growing. But now that she's gone, how poignant the prediction that without her there would be no joy in life but I would survive somehow.
I Need You
A plant without the soaking rains
will have no chance to grow,
and a flower without the warming sun
has nothing nice to show.
A boat is next to useless
without the wide blue sea,
and Ros without your loving
I can't be what I'm meant to be.
Yes, I would survive somehow
without your smiling face,
but there would be no joy in life
sadness would take its place.
You are the only reason
why people say I glow.
I need you Ros, every day of my life,
and I will never go.
I am yours and we are one,
our love will keep on growing more,
When I'm with you I am content,
you are the one that I adore.
My darling Ros, I need your love,
I need you in so many ways,
and I want to be the man of your dreams,
today, tomorrow, all your days.
