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 hollered 'round when you said 'i do'

i knew i wouldn't have nothing if i didn't have you. well it changed my thinking 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 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 on 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. well i've already said it but i swear it's true

i know i wouldn't have nothing if i didn't have you.
