Judy Garland starts this torch
Judy Garland starts this torch song as a slow burning ember, fanning her voice in highs & lows, until a fire glows in our heart.
Sung by the character of Nancy in the musical 'Oliver!', introduced in the 1960 stage production. It is a love ballad about her criminal boyfriend & the song expresses her love for him, despite his mistreatment.
Judy knew all about this ...
Performed by Judy on 'The Judy Garland Show,' taped July 7, 1963, July 16, 1963 & March 6, 1964.
Words and music by Lionel Bart, 1960.
As long as he needs me
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me
Who else would love him still
When they've been used so ill?
He knows I always will
As long as he needs me
I miss him so much when he is gone
But when he's near me
I don't let on
The way I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The hell! I've got my pride
As long as he needs me
He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should
But all the same
I'll play this game
His way...
As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me
As long as life is long
I'll love him right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me
If you are lonely
Then you will know
When someone needs you
You love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true, just
As long as he needs me
