Lyrics

If not for you, babe, I could n’t e ven find (G)wide the door. I could n’t e ven (G)see the floor. I’d be sad and (Am)blue, if not for you. If not for you, babe, the night n’t would see me (G)wide a wake. The day would sure ly (G)have to break. It would not be (Am)new, if not for you. If not for you, If not for you my sky would fall, rain would gath er too. With out your love I’d be no where at all. I’d be lost if not for you. (CN.C.)If not for you, the win ter would hold no spring. Could n’t hear the (G)rob in sing. I just would n’t have a clue, if not for you. If not for you.
