Lyrics

If (Bb)you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad

to day?

If (Bb)you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours

in this way?

If (Bb)you are not mine then why does your heart re turn

my call?

If (Bb)you are not mine would I have the strength to stand

as at all?

I nev er know what the (Eb)fu ture brings but I (F)know you’re here with me (Cm)now.

We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I (Ebmaj7)share my life with.

I don’t wan na run a way but I can’t take it (Eb)I don’t un der stand,

If I’m not (Cm7)made for you then (Eb)why does my heart tell me that I am.

Is there a ny (F)way that I could (Cm)stay

in your arms?

If (Bb)I don’t need you then why am I cry ing on

my bed?

If (Bb)I don't need you then why does your name re sound

in my head?

If (Bb)you’re not for me then why does this dis tance maim

my life?

If (Bb)you’re not for me then why do I dream of you

as my wife?

I nev er know what the (Eb)fu ture brings but I (F)know you’re here with me (Cm)now.

We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I (Ebmaj7)share my life with.

I don’t wan na run a way but I can’t take it (Eb)I don’t un der stand,

If I’m not (Cm7)made for you then (Eb)why does my heart tell me that I am.

Is there a ny (F)way that I could (Cm)stay

in your arms?

If I don’t know why you’re so far a way, but I (Cm7)know that this much is true,

we’ll make it through, and I hope you are the one I (Eb)share my life with.

And I wish that you could be the (Eb)one I die with.

And I’m pray ing you’re the one I (Eb)build my home with.

I hope (Eb)I love you all my life.

I don’t wan na run a way but I can’t take it (Eb)I don’t un der stand.

If I’m not (Cm)made for you then (Eb)why does my heart tell me that I am.

Is there a ny (F)way that I could (Cm)stay

in your arms

’Cause I (Gm)miss you

(Eb)bod y and soul so strong that it takes my breath a way.

And I breathe you

(Eb)in to my heart and pray for the strength to stand to day.

’Cause I love you,

(Eb)whe ther it’s wrong or right, and though I can’t (Bb)be with you to night you know my heart is by your (Bb)side.

I don’t wan na run a way but I can’t take it, (Eb)I don’t un der stand.

If I’m not (Cm)made for you then (Eb)why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there a ny (F)way that I could (Cm7)stay

in your arms?
