Lyrics

If Not for You

[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

[Chorus]

If not for you, my sky would fall

Rain would gather, too

Without your love I'd be nowhere at all

I'd 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

[Harmonica Solo]

[Chorus]

If not for you, my sky would fall

Rain would gather, too

Without your love I'd be nowhere at all

I'd 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
