You Needed Me Lyrics

Artist: Anne Murray
Album: You Needed Me

You Needed Me

-Artist: Anne Murray
-peak Billboard position # 1 in 1978
-Words and Music by Randy Goodrum

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

You needed me, you needed me

by Gilbert on 11/24/2008 10:10pm I totally agree, there is no one who can be all that, and do all that at the same time, what a powerful lyrics, it must be from a lost or a sinner's perspective to God that is so humble, willing and able like Jesus.
by CDGIRL on 3/21/2009 3:51pm This is a wonderful song!!!!!!! So inspiring,one would have to really listen to the words and have dealt with life in ordre to relate to the words in this song and to know that when one really needed Jesus ,he was right there,despite our faults or our shortcomings, when we really needed HIM,He was there. He gave me hope when I was at my end, is the part that truly touches my soul!!!!
by merisofi on 3/25/2009 6:00am First of all I don't understand the title. Whomever is the person or entity that the words are spoken to it is the singer (SINNER??)who needed him or her. And the interpretation, wether it is Jesus, your Guardian Angel or only a good human being depends on the beliefs of the interpreter Only the author can say to whom were this grateful words dedicated.
by Nick Tan (God most beloved) =p on 3/31/2009 10:19am I pray for you merisofi. For Jesus love you! He is the author and the finisher of love.
by Amy Edwards on 4/6/2009 10:34am Supposedly this was written as a dedication to a sponsor of an alcoholic.
by Wenny on 9/13/2009 7:56am I want to share my opinion about the title.I think it's a passive voice,which described to regard someone special to be number one in his/her heart deeply inside.Unbelievable!!!I really like this song.I send my love for my best friend.
by DavidPetros on 9/24/2009 12:35pm Sounds like a prayer... It is a wonderful love song... And it is "our song" for my wife and I. We met in 1979, married in 1980. At the time, I was going through a very painfull divorse. My ex left me and filed for divorse. She made it very clear she didn't want anything further to do with me. She had (still has) a very cutting tongue. She insulted and verbally abused me. Naturally I felt rejected and down-cast. Then along came the woman who was to become my future wife. (And we are still married after nearly 30 years!) She is an Anne Murray fan and this song was popular at the time. We played the song often as we went driving through the country side - first as friends. We fell in love. And this song says it all regarding what she means to me and what she did for me. And for what she still does for me!
