If Not for You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I would be lost, if not for you
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I would be lost, if not for you
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I would be lost, if not for you
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I would be lost, if not for you
[Verse 3]
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
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
Not for you
