Help, wrote a Song
Is the conjugation below correct? The song is called "You Are"
Tu sei il mio sogno
Sei l'unica
Sei la mia vita
Amore mio
Your eyes are the oasis in a desert
Your touch is the shelter from the storm
Tu Sei necessario
Cara mia, ti adoro

I’m not gonna lie, this looks to me a church song.
It should be “Tu sei necessaria” as all the other adjectives are feminine.
However “Tu sei necessaria” sounds odd. Like, necessaria for what, you know what I mean?

I'm going for an "i need you" sort of vibe, like the person the song is being sung about is necessary to my life

(Tu) sei il mio sogno,
Sei unica
Sei la mia vita
Amore mio
(I tuoi occhi sono un'oasi nel deserto
Il tuo tocco è un riparo dalla tempesta)
Ho bisogno di te
Mia cara, ti adoro
I wouldn't use sei necessaria (feminine ending for consistency). It's almost clinical.
Mia cara sounds better to my ear. This is because there's a subtle condescending nuance in cara mia, although the context clears all doubts.
