Lyric

Have a seat, I reached for you at dawn
Felt the emptiness beside me
Remembered you were gone
In the cold that old blanket
Couldn’t give the warmth you gave

You’ll never know how much I needed you today
The touch of you still lingers on my mind
That tender touch I need so much to feel just one more time
Your picture seemed to whisper things I wanted you to say

You’ll never know how much I needed you today
I hurt to have you hold me all day through
And the hunger just got stronger with every thought of you
So even if tomorrow this feeling fades away
You’ll never know how much I needed you today
You’ll never know how much I needed you today
