Artist/Band: Randy Travis
Lyrics for Song: If I Didn't Have You
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best of Randy Travis [Warner Bros./Rhino] [2004]



Well, I lost my heart on the day we met

But I gained a lot that I don't regret

Then I hung around 'til you said, ''I do.''

I knew I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you.



--- Instrumental ---



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 or 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

Oh, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.



--- Instrumental ---



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 or 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

Oh, 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...
