Lyrics

If not for you,

babe, I could nโ€™t e ven find the door.

I could nโ€™t e ven (G)see the floor.

Iโ€™d be sad and (Am)blue,

if not for you.

If not for you,

babe, the night nโ€™t would see me 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 Iโ€™d be no where at all.

Iโ€™d be lost if not for you.

(CN.C.)If not for you,

the win ter would hold no spring.

Could nโ€™t hear the (G)rob in sing.

I just would nโ€™t have a clue,

if not for you.

If not for you.
