Well I lost my heart on the day we met But I gained a lot, and that I don't regret. Then I hung around 'till you said "I do" I knew I wouldn't have nothing If I didn't have you. Well it changed my thinking And it 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 of 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 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, And that's where I'd have been. Well I've already said it but I swear its true I know I wouldn't have nothing If I didn't have you
