Emmylou Harris – If I Needed You lyrics
(Townes van Zandt)

If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain

Well the night's forlorn
And the morning's born
And the morning shines
With the lights of love
And you'll miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
And that would break
My heart in two

If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain

Baby's with me now
Since I showed her how
To lay
Her lilly
Hand in mine
Who would I'll agree (Luke and Lil agree)
She's a sight to see
A treasure for
The poor to find

If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain

    This song touches my very soul. When my aunt was dying in California of cancer. I paid both mom's and my air plane tickets to get to her one last time before she died. I was broke after paying the tickets. But this song ran thru my head.
    Aunt Rachel needed me. And mom. And no matter the cost, of flying from Texas to California, we had to do it to be with her and comfort her as best we could. She died. And now is in the arms of Jesus.
