If I Needed You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I needed you would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain


[Verse 2]
In the night forlorn, when the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two

[Verse 3]
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
To put her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see
And a treasure for the poor to find

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
