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 'till you said "I do"
I knew I wouldn't have nothing
If I didn't have you.
Well it changed my thinking
And it 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 nothing
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.
Blowing around from town to town
Like a feather in the wind.
If I didn't have you
I know I'd be
Floundering 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
Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night
And the sun came up and the skies turned blue
No I wouldn't have nothing
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 nothing
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.
Blowing around from town to town
Like a feather in the wind.
If I didn't have you
I know I'd be
Floundering around like a ship at sea.
Lost in the rain of a hurricane,
And that's where I'd have been.
Well I've already said it but I swear its true
I know I wouldn't have nothing
If I didn't have you
