The melody of the "hook" line, or chorus of "When I Need You" is identical to the part of the Leonard Cohen song "Famous Blue Raincoat",
where the lyrics are as follows: "Jane came by with a lock of your
hair, she said that you gave it to her that night, that you planned to
go clear." The melody of these lyrics matches the lyrics of "When I Need
You" as follows: "(When I) need you, I just close my eyes and I'm with
you, and all that I so want to give you, is only a heart beat away."
In a 2006 interview with the Globe & Mail Cohen said:
I once had that nicking happen with Leo Sayer. Do you remember that song 'When I Need You'?" Cohen sings the chorus of Sayer's number one hit from 1977, then segues into 'And Jane came by with a lock of your hair', a lyric from 'Famous Blue Raincoat'. 'Somebody sued them on my behalf … and they did settle', even though, he laughs, 'they hired a musicologist, who said, that particular motif was in the public domain and, in fact, could be traced back as far as Schubert.[5]
The same melody can be heard in Elton John's "Little Jeannie" in the lyrics: "Stepped into my life from a bad dream / Making the life that I had seem / Suddenly shiny and new"
Lyrics
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
Oh, I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keepin' me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keepin' me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
And all I want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you darlin'
Oh, I want you
