How Do I Live (Extended Mix)
LeAnn Rimes · You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs [1997]
Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
baby you would take away everything good in my life,
and tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,
How do I live without you
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Please tell me baby,
How do I go on
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Good in my life
And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby
How do i live
How Do I Live (Extended Mix)

The track showcases her signature blend of country and pop sensibilities, characterized by a powerful, emotive delivery that became a defining element of her early career. While the original single achieved massive commercial success, this extended version expands the instrumental arrangement, offering a richer sonic texture while maintaining the song's anthemic quality.
