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.
