Lyrics for If Not For You

If not for you Babe, I couldn't find the door Couldn't even see the floor I'd be sad and blue, if not for you If not for you Babe, I'd lay awake all night Wait for the mornin' light To shine in through But it would not be new, if not for you If not for you, my sky would fall Rain would gather too Without your love, I'd be nowhere at all I'd be lost if not for you And you know it's true If not for you, my sky would fall Rain would gather too Without your love, I'd be nowhere at all Oh, what would I do if not for you? If not for you Winter would have no spring I couldn't hear the robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue Anyway, it wouldn't ring true, if not for you If not for you If not for you If not for you If not for you
