you
you were right
true
that night
strong
I believed
I was wrong
it's on me
I thought we had all the time in world
I thought you would always be my girl
I took and I took and never thought it was greed
how could I know you were all that I need
all that I need
all that I need
why couldn't I see
you were all that I need
time always seems so long when nothing is wrong
but is always so short when you come to the end
I thought I was good, I thought I was strong
but now I just wish that time was my friend
all that I need
all that I need
I couldn't see
you were all that I need
someday if I ever see you again
I hope you remember what we were then
but now I just simply go through the day
wondering what I should have say
all that I need
all that I need
why couldn't I see
you were all that I need

Reviews of "ALL THAT I NEED song lyrics by Joel Sattler"
An ache of a song. It also contains a remorse that has an undercoat of innocence: “….never thought it was greed.” That is so believable, given the tenderness of your line: “how could I know you were all that I need.” Worth reading three times through. ~~ djl
