  • ::when i need you...

    Thursday, July 29, 2010
    All my childhood years, i used to sit at the back of my daddy's car with my sister and rocking our ears with evergreen oldies romantic songs! be it the English songs or some other tracks from Indonesian singers.. oh my, what a bliss listening to the melancholic songs, the country ones especially. My family once lived in Sibu and that was like 7 hours drive from hometown, Kuching.

    Every school holiday or some long weekends, dad will drive the whole family back home. I remembered that we woke up very early in the morning just to make sure that we manage to board the Ferry in Durin or Lanang on time. On time means, no 2km queue or wanting to shout at the STUPID drivers who so SELFISH cut the lines!!! With 7 hours journey, all we the kids can do... sleep, eat, shout at each other then sleep again. In between there was pit stop to answer nature's call (public toilet, bushes, drains...), and of course constantly nagging my dad the driver. He is the one who willingly change the cassette tape to side B or change to another tapes, or switch to AM radio.

    Well, all those 6 years of listening to oldies. Dreams dreams dreams, Jambalaya, Hey Mr Postman, Teardrops in Your Eyes, 500 miles.. just a few that i recalled.. No wonder until this day, i still have the spot for oldies :) There are few songs i proudly declared that are my all time favourite of course...

    But today, i just want to share one song that remind me of my friend in Uni. It's her favourite song too and i will always join the sing-along session with her in her room when she suddenly get in the mood of, hmm.. singing? And i am kinda pissed off when a TV commercial (cooking oil) used the song in BM version. Wahh, how dare you spoil my favourite song!!!

    Googled the lyric just now and sang it all alone. Wah, suddenly i am hit with melodramatic feeling again.. Hey dear, if you did manage to have time and read this post, this one is for you :)
    Oh, enough said, here the lyric for the song
    When I Need You.


    When I need you
    I just close my eyes and I'm with you
    And all that I so wanna give you
    It's only a heartbeat away

    When I need love
    I hold out my hands 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
    The telephone can't take the place of your smile
    But you know I won't be travelin' forever
    It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do

    When I need you
    I just close my eyes and I'm with you
    And all that I so wanna give you babe
    It's only a heartbeat away

    It's not easy when the road is your driver
    Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
    But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
    It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

    Oh, I need you

    When I need love
    I hold out my hands and I touch love
    I never knew there was so much love
    Keeping me warm night and day

    When I need you
    Just close my eyes
    And you're right here by my side
    Keeping me warm night and day

    I just hold out my hands
    I just hold out my hand
    And I'm with you darlin'
    Yes, I'm with you darlin'
    All I wanna give you
    It's only a heartbeat away

    Oh I need you darling
