Verse 1 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 Verse 2 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 Verse 3 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 Verse 4 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 & Third Verse) 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
