I don't ask for much
Maybe joy in the end
But that one touch
It lets me pretend
I'm older, I wiser,
I'm happier, it's dire,
I must tell you
All I need is
The look you gave me
With those eyes
When we met
The look that said
You liked me and
Not to forget
The look that I miss
When I know
You're with her
Rewind to a time
When I saw
That smile and those dimples
When we played
The smile I missed
Until September
And whenever you were
In detention
But then I remember
All I need is
The look you gave me
With your eyes
When we met
The look that I miss
When I know
You're with her
Then in high school
You showed me a blush
I'd never seen
Until we touched
That made me feel
Alive for once
A warmth within
A total flush
And then I remember
All I need is
The look you give me
With your eyes
When we meet
The look that says
You love me and
Never forget
The look that I cherish
When I see
It was never her
It was always me.
All I need is
You.
