It Was all I Needed (A song for Danny)

It Was All I Needed
Copyright 2012 – Susie Whiting


Verse 1:
You never promised sunshine
You never promised roses without thorns.
You never promised rainbows
Hanging in the sky above the storms.

You never offered guarantees
Made senseless promises you couldn’t keep
You simply took my hand in yours
And with all your heart you promised to love me.

Chorus:
And it was all  I needed,
When the winds blew hard against my door.
It was all I needed
When my ships couldn’t find their way to shore.

It was all I needed
To dance although I couldn’t hear the song.
It was all I needed
To see through the dark and look into the dawn.

You raised me up and help me be
The best that I could find in me
And now the gold is covered up in grey.
And you still love me and I still love you
Even more than yesterday.

Instrumental:

Chorus:
Your love was all  I needed,
When the winds blew hard against my door.
It was all I needed
When my ships couldn’t find their way to shore.

It was all I needed
To dance although I couldn’t hear the song.
It was all I needed
To see through the dark and look into the dawn.

You raised me up and help me be
The best that I could find in me
And now the gold is covered up in grey.
And you still love me and I still love you
Even more than yesterday.
