If I Didn't Have You

Well, I lost my heart on the day we met

But I gained a lot and that I don't regret

Then I hung around 'til you said "I do"

I knew I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you

♪

Well, it changed my thinkin' when you changed your name

And neither one of us will ever be the same

And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue

'Cause I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you

If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold

Blowin' around from town to town like a feather in the wind

If I didn't have you I know I'd be flounderin' around like a ship at sea

Lost in the rain of a hurricane and that's where I'd have been

But I didn't get lost 'cause I saw your light

Shinin' like a beacon on a cold dark night

And the sun came up and the skies turned blue

No, I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you

♪

Well, I count my blessings every night I pray

That the Lord lets me keep you just one more day

And every day He does, 'cause God knows too

That I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you

If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold

Blowin' around from town to town like a feather in the wind

If I didn't have you I know I'd be flounderin' around like a ship at sea

Lost in the rain of a hurricane and that's where I'd have been

But I didn't get lost 'cause I saw your light

Shinin' like a beacon on cold dark night

Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue

No, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you

Well, I've already said it but I swear it's true

I know I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you
