There's been times I've felt like half a man Life's had me down on my knees Troubled times I don't understand why they happen to me I have struggled through the darkness and I have found the light of day [Chorus:] But if I lost you, there'd be no sunshine shining through I don't know what in the world I would do if I lost you Like a ship with no harbor like a bird with no wings Like a fish out of water a dreamer without a dream I have learned about losing I could lose most anything [Chorus (2 x's)]
