Like Ships Need The Sea 

My mother once told me I don’t need a man to be the best I can be 
But just one look from you I’m changing my plans 
‘Cause darlin’ I need you like ships need the sea 
Darlin’ I need you like ships need the sea 

My grandfather told me that real men don’t cry 
But I saw your tears in the moonlight 
That’s when I knew that my grandfather lied 
And darlin’ I need you like birds need the sky 
Darlin’ I need you like birds need the sky 

Finally you gave me the hope I’d awaited 
Finally you gave me your heart 
Gladly I gave you the love you’d awaited 
Gladly I gave you my heart 
Finally you gave me the hope I’d awaited 
Finally you gave me your heart 
Gladly I gave you the love you’d awaited 
Gladly I gave you my heart 

That preacher, he told me that love’s not easy 
I told him I don’t want it to be 
Darlin’ I need you like ships need the sea 
And I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you 
I’m gonna love you for all of our days, I’m gonna love you for all of our days
