You Needed Me

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Especially for Janice from Bideford, North Devon You Needed Me from “Another audience with Shirley Bassey”. Broadcast in 2005.
Recorded 10 years after the first “An audience with Shirley Bassey”.

After singing “You needed me”  Shirley answers question from the audience and she tells about her encounter with Elvis Presley in Las Vegas.  (Here is a genuine US. mail Elvis-stamp).
Shirley also performed many time in Las Vegas. Here is a newspaper clip from 1995 about Shirley performing in Las Vegas and a picture of Shirley in the audience at an Elvis Presley concert there. See also previous posts about this:

Lyrics You needed me:

I cried a tear,
You wiped it dry.
I was confused,
You cleared my mind.
I sold my soul,
You bought it back for me,
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength,
To stand alone again.
To face the world,
Out on my own again.
You held me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity.
You needed me,
You needed me,

And I can’t believe it’s you I can’t believe it’s true.
I needed you and you were there,
And I’ll never leave, why should I leave
I’d be a fool
‘Cause I’ve finally found someone who really cares.

You touched my hand.
When it was cold,
When I was lost,
You took me home.
You gave me hope,
When I was at the end,
And turned my lies,
Back into truth again
You even called me friend.

You gave me strength,
To stand alone again.
To face the world,
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity.

You needed me,
You needed me,
You needed me,
You needed me,
You needed me.

…….And it still bloody came off!
