Well, I lost my heart on the day we met But I gained a lot that I don't regret Then I hung around till you said, 'I do' I knew I wouldn't have nothin' 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 nothin' If I didn't have you Chorus: 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 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 Chorus 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've already said it, but I swear it's true I know I wouldn't have nothing If I didn't have you ©1992 Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. / Irving Music, Inc. / Hardscratch Music
