Leann Rimes Sings About Love
My most beloved country music lyrics from star Leann Rimes are from the famous “I Need You”: “I need you like water, like breath, like rain. I need you like mercy from Heaven’s gate.” Both these lyrics and the feelings they convey are so simple that they are nearly cliched, yet in their purity they maintain the meaning that rings so true for so many people. I doubt that anyone would dispute that love is the most basic emotional need, and to use the basic physical needs like air to breathe and water to drink in a metaphor about love might seem obvious, but it’s still effective.
