The Need to Be Loved

The Need to Be Loved
When a child begins to question
What this life is all about
Love is that certain something
That we just can't do without
The need to be loved
Is as old as the wind and the sea
Or as young as the mulberry tree
On a summer day

The need to be loved
Is the song of the lark on the wing
In the winter, the promise of spring
Through the years come what may
When the world falls apart for children
Like a broken carousel
That's when we need the warmth of love
To tell us what we know so well:
That each little rose
Needs the help of the rain and the sun
And the need, yes the need to be loved
Is the same for everyone
When the world falls apart for children
Like a broken carousel
That's when we need the warmth of love
To tell us what we know so well:
That each little rose
Needs the help of the rain and the sun
And the need, yes the need to be loved
Is the same for everyone
