Song Lyrics

(Daddy, are we going to sing that song?)
You're all I need to get by, ah

Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny

With arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I will sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you

I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up the hill

There's no, no looking back for us
We've got a love, sure enough, that's enough
You're all, you're all I need to get by

Like an eagle protects his nest
For you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree
Dare anybody to try move me

Darling, in you I found
Strenght when I was torn down
Don't know what's in store
But together we can open any door

Just to do what's good for you
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man
Out of a soul that didn't have a goal

'Cause we, we've got the right foundation
And with love and determination
You're all, you're all I want to strive for
And do a little more
You're all, all the joys under the sun
Wrapped up into one
You're all, you're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need to get by

Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah
You're all I need
You're all I need
