Lyrics
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I LOVE YOU
BUT IT'S REALLY NOT ENOUGH
HOW CAN JUST A SIMPLE WORD
EVER MEAN THAT MUCH
I'M TRYING IN MY OWN WAY
TO EXPRESS THE THINGS I MEAN
BUT IT'S HARD TO FIND THE PHRASES
WHEN YOU'RE THIS CLOSE TO A DREAM
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
IM GIVING UP ON MEANINGS, THOSE OLD LINES WITHOUT FEELINGS 'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS COME AROUND
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO FREE
THERE'S A GENTLE WAY ABOUT YOU
AND I LIKE YOUR COMPANY
THE WAY WE TALK THINGS OVER
TILL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL
FOR THE WAY YOU ARE INSIDE
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
IM GIVING UP ON MEANINGS, THOSE OLD LINES WITHOUT FEELINGS
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
NOW IF LOVE COULD MEAN ALL THIS
THE WORD WOULD SURELY DO
I DON'T WANT TO BE MISTAKEN
FOR THE WAY I FEEL FOR YOU
BEING HERE TOGETHER
THE TENDERNESS YOU SHARE
TO LOOK INTO THOSE PASSION EYES
AND KNOW YOU REALLY CARE
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
IM GIVING UP ON MEANINGS, THOSE OLD LINES WITHOUT FEELINGS
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU, THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
IM GIVING UP ON MEANINGS, THOSE OLD LINES WITHOUT FEELINGS
'CAUSE THE ONLY WORD I NEED, THE ONLY WORD I NEED,
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
THE ONLY WORD I NEED IS YOU
