RANDY VANWARMER - Just When I Needed You Most

Best remembered for his 1979 pop smash, "Just When I Needed You Most," singer/songwriter Randy VanWarmer was born March 30, 1955, in Indian Hills, CO. After his father was killed in a 1967 auto accident, VanWarmer and his mother relocated to Cornwall, England; he began writing and performing while in his teens, and upon returning stateside in 1978 settled in Woodstock, NY, soon signing to the local Bearsville label. His debut LP, Warmer, followed in 1979 -- written when VanWarmer was just 18, the single "Just When I Needed You Most" proved the rare pop ballad that could crack disco-dominated radio play lists as the decade drew to a close, reaching the number four spot on the Billboard chart. His sophomore effort, Terraform, appeared in 1980, trailed a year later by Beat of Love -- neither record was a pop hit, but VanWarmer was gaining increasing industry fame as a composer, especially after his "I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)" topped the country charts for Alabama in 1982. A fourth solo LP, The Things That You Dream, was issued to diminishing commercial returns in 1983, and a year later the Oak Ridge Boys hit number one with his "I Guess It Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes." VanWarmer relocated to Nashville in 1985 to ply his trade as a country songwriter -- in 1988, he resurfaced as a solo artist with I Am, scoring a pair of country hits with "I Will Hold You" and "Where the Rocky Mountains Touch the Morning Sun." Subsequent efforts include 1990's Every Now and Then, 1994's The Vital Spark, and 1995's Third Child. After a long battle with leukemia, VanWarmer died in Seattle on January 12, 2004. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Just When I Needed You Most Lyrics

You packed in the morning and I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I
Missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

Now most every morning I
Stare out the window and I
Think about where you might be
I've written you letters
That I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I
Needed before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

[Instrumental Interlude]

You packed in the morning I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just when I needed you most

You left me
Just when I needed you most

My daughter was kidnapped when she was a year old. I too understand the pain of losing a child. It took me ten years to find her. Although she is back in my life the little girl I lost is gone forever. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone. It rocks you to your core and changes you forever

[aguerrero1963]

I wish people now in days had these feelings to write something like this. I think im dreaming as we all know those days are sadly gone..

Mine has a more sadder phase, I was sick 2 years ago and almost died, and when recovering at my parents home(only 5 miles away), my wife packed my things and put them on the curb, and said come and get them, and then sold her wedding ring

[Dobydoves]

True love
