All I Ever Need is You - Ray Charles (1971)

Sometimes when I'm sad and all alone
Just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Oh honey, all I ever need is you

You're my first love, you're my last
You're my future, you're my past
And loving you is all I ask, oh darling
All I ever need is you

Winters come and they go,
and we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring,
all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you

Some men follow rainbows, I am told
Some men search for silver some for gold
I have found my treasure in your soul
All I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
I won't sleep at night until you say, oh darling
All I ever need is you

Some men follow rainbows, I am told
Some men search for silver some for gold
I have found my treasure in your soul
All I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
I won't sleep at night until you say, oh honey
All I ever need is you
All I ever need is you
All I ever need is you
All I ever need is you
