Without You
Vince Gill · Next Big Thing [MCA] [2003]
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you.
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you.
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you.
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you.
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you.
All I can see is me without you...
