When I Needed You Songtext / Lyric

When you cry for me

Here's what I will do

I'll step into your dreams at night

and comfort you

And when you hear me cry

do that in reverse

Imagine you are flying through

the universe

I know the distance scares you

but it's really not far

cause I'll be on the corner

in that neighborhood of stars

And when I needed you

I'll just call out loud

And you'll look up and see me standing

on a cloud

I'll say "Come closer, please"

and you'll stand on a chair

and with silver wings, I'll hold you in

the trembling air

And when you hear me whistle

consider that a clue

another way of sayin'

how much I'm missing you

But I'm not up there yet

I've got miles to go

miles and miles to dream with you

and watch you grow

and now I think I'll practice what

I will do

when I'm up there

and I'm missing you
