Lyrics

I won der how you kiss first thing in the morn ing.

Be fore you go, go to work, are you smil ing at (Eb)me?

Do you laugh at my jokes, (F)e ven the ones that you’ve heard be fore?

There’ll be times when ev ’ry thing’s not per fect.

When we (Gm)fight do you say things like ‘I hate you’ or (Eb)‘it’s all your fault’?

Or do you say (F)noth ing at all?

(Bb)I don’t know who you are,

(Gm)don’t e ven know your name.

I (Eb)wish we could talk but I don’t have a num ber to (F)call.

So (Gm)hold your hand up if you hear me,

I’ve been (F)search ing but all that I found

is ev ’ry (Eb)where that I go, I’m (Gm)stand ing a lone in the (F)crowd.

And I (Eb)need

you (Gm)now.

I (Eb)need

you (Gm)now.

I Need You Now by Lady A — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “I Need You Now” by Lady A in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Eb at 95 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
