Lyrics

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

If not for you

Babe the night would see me wide awake

The day would surely have to break

And it would not be new

If not for you

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

If not for you

The winter would hold no spring

Couldn't hear a robin sing

I just wouldn't have a clue

It not for you

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

If not for you

The winter would hold no spring

You couldn't hear a robin sing

I just wouldn't have a clue

It not for you

If not for you
