As Long As You’re There Lyrics
[SUNSHINE]
[Verse 1]
All my life I've waited for the right
Moment to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
But now I've realized
There's just no perfect time
To confess how I feel
This much I know is real
[Pre-Chorus]
So I refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you
Knowing my heart
[Chorus]
Baby 'cause I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
[Verse 1]
All my life I've waited for the right
Moment to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
But now I've realized
There's just no perfect time
To confess how I feel
This much I know is real
[Pre-Chorus]
So I refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you
Knowing my heart
[Chorus]
Baby 'cause I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
[Verse 2]
Take these words
Don't let them go unheard
This is me reaching out
I hope you can hear me now
'Cause baby my heart's at stake
Take it, it's yours to break
I'd rather try and lose
Than keep this love from you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So I refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you
Knowing my heart
[Chorus]
Baby 'cause I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
Take these words
Don't let them go unheard
This is me reaching out
I hope you can hear me now
'Cause baby my heart's at stake
Take it, it's yours to break
I'd rather try and lose
Than keep this love from you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So I refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you
Knowing my heart
[Chorus]
Baby 'cause I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
[Bridge]
Each day and night
That I've kept this a secret
It'd killed me, It's time
To share what I feel inside
[Chorus]
No, I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
[Outro]
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
Each day and night
That I've kept this a secret
It'd killed me, It's time
To share what I feel inside
[Chorus]
No, I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing, but you means a thing to me
I'm incomplete when you're not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
[Outro]
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
