We Need You

As I glance across the table
Your chair seems out of place
Living here just ain't that easy now
But there are signs of trying on my face

We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our day
We need you
And the wisdom of your ways
In our dreams you are near
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day

Both the kids they still love you
You know, they always asked me
When is daddy coming home
Then we talk and laugh about the good times
Without you they still feel so alone

We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our day
We need you and the wisdom of your ways
In our dreams you are near
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day

Someone's knocking at the door
Of my heart
Telling me what we need
Is a brand new start
That ain't true
We need you
We need you
In our dreams you are near
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
