Lyrics

In the early morning hours you came like lightning, and the sirens rang
Nothing was suddenly something it felt so frightening, because everything changed

I thought I knew what life was about
But I was a fool who never figured it out until I held you in my arms

Now I wanna keep you there forever and ever, but I know better
Soon you will be grown and on your own like me, hopefully you’ll see…

baby we all need love
It can be hard to find and hard to hold up
if you believe it’ll come you already got some
baby we all need love
and you’ve got mine

nobody hands you a set of instructions about how to live, I wish they would
but I’m making this up as I go and there’s things that I give you, I’d take back if I could

I guess that’s life, we do our best
Cross our fingers and hope we been blessed, and I hope you know how much I really care

One day when I’m old and grey I’m sure I’ll look back and question this and that
But I will never once regret the sight of you, I hope you know that’s true

baby we all need love
It can be hard to find and hard to hold up
if you believe it’ll come you already got some
baby we all need love
and you’ve got mine

Yesterday you asked me if I thought you’d make it to Christmas time next year
I smiled and i laughed a bit said sure you will, and suppressed my greatest fear
After all that worry I guess you were mostly concerned with getting a brand new robot
Ain’t it crazy how the strangest things remind us all to hold on to what we’ve got

Baby we all need love
It ain’t something you buy, or or something you’re proud of
when you never expect it, it’s likely show up
If you believe it I’ll come then you already got some
baby we all need love
you’ve got mine
