Lyrics for I Know Love Is All I Need

So, I'm an orphan now, out here on my own And it's hard to know where I belong It comes as no surprise, it happens to us all Just like the sun will rise, night will fall I know love is all I need I know love is all I need I know love is all I need That's all I know An image I recall, a picture on the wall Of my mother on her wedding day A young and naive nothing up her sleeve But the things that just got lost along the way And I know love is all I need I know love is all I need I know love is all I need That's all I know And there's a voice I hear, it comes in loud and clear It's my father's voice teaching me He says, "To be a man, you've got to be true to your word And when you make a stand, you'll be heard" And I know love is all I need I know love is all I need I know love is all I need That's all I know I can see it in my children I can feel it with my wife And I know it with these friends I have So important to my life I had a dream last night, I saw my mom and dad They were happy now and I was glad They had a brand-new house that they'd just moved in And when I awoke, they were gone again But I know love is all I need I know love is all I need I know love is all I need That's all I know
