You Needed Me Lyrics - Perry Como

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry 

I was confused, you cleared my mind 

I sold my soul, you bought it back for me 

and held me up, and gave me dignity 

somehow, you needed me! 

You gave me strength, to stand alone again 

to face the world, out on my own again 

you put me high upon a pedestal 

so high that I could almost see eternity 

you needed me, you needed me! 

Can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true 

I needed you and you were there 

Though I'll never leave, why should I leave? 

I'd be a fool, when I finally found someone who really cares! 

Who really cares! 

You held my hand ~ you held my hand 

when it was cold ~ when it was cold 

when I was lost ~ when I was lost 

you took me home ~ you took me home 

You put me high upon a pedestal 

so high that I could almost see eternity 

you needed me, you needed me . . . 

. . . you needed me, 

you needed me . . .
