If I Didn't Have You

Well I lost my heart on the day we met

But I gained a lot that I don't regret

Then I hung around til you said 'I do'

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

Well, it changed my thinking when you changed your name

Neither one of us will ever be the same

And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue

Cuz 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 or a hurricane, that's where I'd have been

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

Shining like a beacon on a cold, dark night

And the sun came up and the skies turned blue

Oh 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

Every day he does, cuz 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 or a hurricane, that's where I'd have been

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

Shining like a beacon on a cold, dark night

And the sun came up and the skies turned blue

Oh I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you

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

I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
