No one knows the side of you that I know 
No one gets to see, to feel you 
To hear you when they call 
I'm the only one you answer 
Because I know what to do 
I know what to do 
 
When I need you 
I just close my eyes and I'm with you 
And all that I so want to give you 
Is only a heartbeat away 
When I need love 
I hold out my hand and I touch love 
I never knew there was so much love 
Keeping me warm night and day 
 
Miles and miles of empty space in between us 
A telephone can't take the place of your smile 
But I won't be traveling forever 
It's cold out, but hold out 
And do like I do 
 
When I need you 
I just close my eyes and I'm with you 
And all that I so want to give you 
Is only a heartbeat away 
 
It's not easy when the road is your driver 
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear 
But I won't be traveling a lifetime 
It's cold out, but hold out 
And do like I do 
When I need you  
 
But I won't be traveling a lifetime 
It's cold out, oh honey, hold out 
And do like I do 
 
When I need you  
I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby 
And all that I so want to give you  
Is only a heartbeat away 
 
When I need love 
I hold out my hand and I touch love 
I never knew there was so much love 
Keeping me warm night and day 
Honey, when I need you  
 
I'm in a cloud and I'm holding my hand out to you 
Holding my hand out to you 
Holding my hand out for you
