All I Need To Know

Words & Music:

Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil & Tom Snow

 

Bette Midler's cover of this goes by "All I Need To Know", which I think is the original title of this song.  The Linda Ronstadt-Aaron Neville version is also known as "Don't Know Much".

 

Look at my face. I know the years are showin'.

Look at my life. Still don't know where it's goin'.

I don't know much, but I know I love you,

and that may be all I need to know.

 

Look at these eyes. Oh, they never see what matters.

And look at these dreams, so beaten and so battered.

I don't know much, but I know I love you,

and that may be all I need to know.

 

So many questions and still no answers.

I climb and climb but never get the view.

But when I hold you near me sometimes I feel so clearly

the only truth I'll ever know is me and you.

 

In my heart I long for inspiration.

And in my soul I know someday I'll find salvation.

I don't know much, but I know I love you,

and that may be all I need to know.

 

In my heart you're my inspiration.

And in my soul I know love is our salvation.

I don't know much, but if I know you love me,

that will be all I need to know.

I don't know much, but if you say you love me,

that will be all I need to know.
