how did i get by without you

john waite

there was a time

when i thought i knew

everything about

this great big world

until i met you

into my life

like a brand new sun

now i find my home

inside your eyes

wherever you are

it's hard to say it

cause i hide things so good

but you make me say it

like only you could

i love you

more than any man could ever say

i need you

baby let me count the ways

and i'll be here

i believe in everything you do

so how did i get by without you

for the longest time

playing games of solitaire

taking my wine

but now i'm with you baby

and i can dream out loud

you're as pretty as a picture

and you make me so proud

it's hard to say it

cause i hide things so good

but you make me say it

like only you could

i love you

more than any words could ever say

i need you

baby let me count the ways

and i'll be here

there's nothing in this world i couldn't do

so how did i get by without you

you love me

now i know that i'm the lucky guy

you've got me

and there's nowhere i can hide

so i'll be here

i believe that all my dreams came true

so how did i get by without you

in the morning light

to see you wake up next to me

it's a beautiful sight

now everything's alright

yeah

i love you

more than any words could ever say

i need you

baby let me count the ways

and i'll be here

i believe in everything you do

so how did i get by without you

you love me

now i know that i'm the lucky guy

you've got me

and there's nowhere i can hide

so i'll stay here

i believe in everything you do

so how did i get by without you

how did i get by

how did i get by without you in my world

how did i get by without you as my girl

you're beautiful

beautiful

so how did i get by without you

without you

without you
