If not for you babe, I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor; I'd be sad and blue,
if not for you
If not for you babe, the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break; it would not be new,
if not for you
If not for you my sky would fall,
rain would gather too.
without your love I'd be no-where at all, I'd be lost,
if not for you
If not for you, the winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing; I just wouldn't have a clue
if not for you
If not for you my sky would fall,
rain would gather too.
without your love I'd be no-where at all, I'd be lost,
if not for you
If not for you, the winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing; I just wouldn't have a clue
if not for you
if not for you
