America - I Need You Lyrics

💎 😢

He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last words, "I'll always love you," this song started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. AMERICA...such good music!

My dad just sent me this video I’m crying🥺🥺🥺

Does ANYONE know the way back to the 1970s? I missed the bus stop at 1970 and its now 2019.

Love this song and I think of a special someone

I love you Talita and I need you

My dad introduced me to this band. He used to play the guitar and sing to our family every night. When my parents divorced I played this song on repeat. Still have the cassette tape.

This song has many meanings. To me it's about my son I lossed him 5 months ago in a auto accident. Logan daddy needs you.

my heart breaks for you. Be strong for Logan and carry on his memories <3

So sorry for your loss.

One of the few bands with great harmonious vocals. R I P Dan Peek.

putz canção linda

I love the image in the video. Indians, looking to moral. Lol.

If you focus on the guitar play it is exquisite. So intricate. Just a beautiful song. America is a timeless band!

General Cumblast McBastard brought me here.

Beautiful simple music!

If I ever piss a girl off I’m blasting this on a boom box outside her house

idk, sounds REALLY close to "Something" by the Beatles.... ;)

I had no idea how similar Material Issue's I Could Use You was to this. I was listening to the radio today and I Need You came on. It hit me quick but I had to sit there for a few minutes and figure it out. Just never thought about it before.

What a beautiful song. I'm a black guy 42 that loves America and this song!

I love this song for years it never gets old. Best music growing up.

Awesome song!! Happy Birthday Gerry..

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

Woke up with this song in my mind😍 Haven’t heard it since I was in high school riffling through my dads vinyls and tapes. I happened to find it on a CD

América o Elvis Presley Led Zeppelin dominaram os anos 70 viva a boa música

i love this song very much.....forever..

Bellísima, simplemente bella

This song makes me nostalgic.

I always thought this was the Bee Gees

Such a feel good song. Relaxing...

Good old days of growing up in the great 60’s & 70’s!! Love this song ❤️

Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the best thing ever

Kevin Kinnu Agree 💯

When music had meaning not like today's crap

Released on April 26, 1972...got to #9 on the Billboard charts....great song!!!

Only #9... It's a shame!

Heartfelt.

............ A TIMELESS CLASSIC..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timeless!❤ simply beautiful!

Mellow, even for America

Chevy Cruze

Thinkyouknowmusic on Twitter brought me here.

When life and music was better...… America, one of my favorite groups of all time, particularly this song. I was 13 when this was on the radio. How the USA has changed for the worse. If only I could go back for one day......

Donald Trump making America great again!!!

Like a flower needs the rain, I need you! 💦🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼💦
I’m in love with you! In my brokenness, in my togetherness. The simplistic beauty of my existence is you! 💗 Always, Me

Still true!

To My Love,wHeReveR you are...

It reminds me of the past and everyone I knew...

The flim Critics Me too. Miss and need my mom,daddy, oldest brother and oldest two sisters. Most time I play this and cry bc I need them all so bad

En l'honneur de mon pere

*killian* pareil..😘❤️

I love this song. Reminds me of the simple times when my husband and I first started dating. Miss those carefree days. He had this on a CD and we'd drive around in his truck just to spend time with each other cause neither of us had our own place.

And I bet you wouldn't trade it for anything!

Same here such great times. I love this song brings back memories of a simpler time. Such ❤️

I like 70’s rock. Came across a new band, sounds like it.

Band is GLITTER DOGS. 2 albums on Spotify, iTunes.

Wow ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

just amazing !!!!

Beautiful song.

So smooth, so timeless, so beautiful, Thx America

These guys were really like Crosby, Stills and Nash, but they had a bit different sound and they got more electric later, but I love the first two LPs the best.

My version of i need you.

I want you back
River

We used to joke
We used to smoke
We used to laugh and choke
But now that those dreams are gone
Guess I’ll finish this song
And sing it to you, at your grave
At your grave, at your grave.

I want you back
Like a tower needs to be stacked
You know I want you back
Guess I’ll say it again
You know I want you back
Like my old friend Jack
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back.

I remember every day
We used to laugh time away
Knowing you loved me
Now that your gone
I won’t wake up at dawn
I would wake up, every hour
Every hour, every hour.

I want you back
Like a tower needs to be stacked
You know I want you back
Guess I’ll say it again
You know I want you back
Like my old friend Jack
I want you back, I want you back.

Written by me.

That got me good great job ^^

I'm on my new channel. That was posted on my old account. The song explains how about i lost my girlfriend. Alice. S. Colton (1996-2016).

Anyway we used to laugh time away
We used to joke around
We barley smoked cigars
We always laughed ti'll we choked.

And it's like we were ment to be together, she loved me, i loved her. So when she passed away from cancer. I couldn't believe my eyes. So i wrote this song which explains what me and alice did together when she was still alive.

And what i do feel like when she's not around.

What Shall We Do Now? Beautiful you wrote a great tribute to your ❤️

Interesting album cover

I sing this alot and think of you

Izzy loves rock 🎸 💘 Enjoy 1972.

One of the greatest love Ballads EVER One of the Greatest Rock Bands EVER

I agree.... supersweet.... like Colour my World

Well you’re right about that

We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why
But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me

[Chorus]
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me


[Chorus]

thank you

Their best song-very Beatlesque/ McCartney/Badfinger sound. great harmonies.

I'd go with Ventura Highway as the best song, followed by Tin Man then this one.

Cuz it was produced by George Martin The Beatles former producer

" I Need You " and " It Don't Matter To Me " by Bread are my two very favorites from the late 60's, early 70's !

Craig Anderson It is truu

My favorite bread song was
Everything I own!
Even though they were all great

@Craig Anderson - I was waiting for someone to mention Bread. Most people don't know who they were. With only one album if memory serves, it's sad that they disbanded.

You are so right my brother

I can dig that man I can really dig it

I love this song I sing this a lot until I cry

hai alie wood

this is 1 of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard, because it touches us deep in our souls and keeps us in touch with the love that we no longer phyisically have to hold but to know that we hold them forever dear to our hearts !....

@mark miller that is true😇

Yes its so beautiful. Loved American, wish I go back to the 1970s and stay.

Alie Wood I am here. No one should be lonely. This is the closest band to my heart and has been since 1971. It is not unusual to see me crying to one of their hundreds of ethereal beautiful songs. They have something no other band has. The ability to make me absolutely crumble. I am a big guy, but they make me feel like a lost little boy, ever searching for something I will never find. Every beautiful girl in the world. My melancholy yearning.❤️

I saw them in concert in the early 90s, and it was a great show! Love this song!

Ur lucky

@Emma B Indeed! They performed in the free tent at the Nebraska State Fair. It was fun to go to a show where everyone knew the words to the songs.

@Brian Wright cool =)

BOOMER ALERT!

AWFUL job cutting off the beginning. BOOOOO!

I need Jesus more than ever 💒

Jamie Hellfire You mean Jeebus, right?

I hope you found him my friend!

We're all with you brother...

Wow! Did Jesus do a cover of this song, too?
