Song with a female vocalist from the 90s lyrics “I need you like the desert needs the rain”? By who and title?

I'm trying to identify a song from the 1990s with a female vocalist. The lyrics are somewhat unclear, but I recall phrases like "I need you like the desert needs the rain," or possibly, "I wait for you like the desert waits for rain," or even, "I'm like a flower in the desert waiting for the rain." The song has a sad tone, perhaps about someone leaving. It is sometimes remixed into a dance version. Any help with the title and artist would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Are you thinking of "Missing You" by Everything But the Girl? It came out mid '90s...

The chorus goes:

And I miss you

(Like the deserts miss the rain)

And I miss you

Oh

(Like the deserts miss the rain)

The song is some times remixed as a dance song. Also the song is kind of sad like maybe shes leaving some one, I cant really remember. Not really sure of the lyrics... "I wait for you like the desert waits for rain" or "Im like a flower in the desert waiting for the rain" ...?...

I know Leann Rimes did a version. Not sure if she was the original artist.

miss you like crazy by christina millian,

here are the lyrics

I miss you like the sky misses the birds

I miss you like a song without the words

And everyday away from you it hurts

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I miss you like the sun misses the day I need you like the desert needs the rain

And baby it's driving me insane

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I'm missing you like crazy

Sitting here, thinking 'bout how much you

You mean to me

You're my love,

my baby You're my friend,

my homey What we got, can't be replaced I see no one taking ya space

Anywhere you take me I'll follow

'Cos everytime I gotta go

I look into your eyes and then I know You'll be waiting for me

And now matter how long that may be I know that you are always there for me Oh baby

I can't wait until I have you here

I miss you like the sky misses the birds

I miss you like a song without the words

And everyday away from you it

hurts

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I miss you like the sun misses the day I need you like the desert needs the rain

And baby it's driving me insane

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I'm missing you like crazy

Sometimes at night I get it bad

I think about the times we share

So I rush to call you hoping you miss me too

The special way you say my name You soothe my heart, make it OK

[

You're not here so I hold my pillow

'Cos everytime I gotta go

I look into your eyes and then I know You'll be waiting for me

And now matter how long that may be I know that you are always there for me Oh baby I can't wait until I have you here

I miss you like the sky misses the birds

I miss you like a song without the words

And everyday away from you it hurts

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I miss you like the sun misses the day I need you like the desert needs the rain And baby it's driving me insane

'Cause I'm missing you like crazy

I'm missing you like crazy

Baby I'm missing you like crazy

And I'm hoping that you miss me too

I'm missing you like crazy

I miss you like the sky misses the birds
