I Don't Know How I Got By

Travis Tritt · The Storm [2007]

How did I wake up each day

Before that moment I saw your face

Where was I before your touch

Nowhere is where I was without you

Without you in it my life was just a lie

And before you I don't know how I got by.



Before I met you, before I held you in the night

Before I found you, before you made everything right

I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life

I got through, babe but I don't know how I got by.



How did I get through those nights

Before the moment I held you tight

And where was I before your kiss

And how did I exist without you

Life had no meaning

No reason and no rhyme.

And before you I don't know how I got by.



Before I met you, bbefore I held you in the night

Before I found you before you made everything right

I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life

I got through, babe but I don't know how I got by.



I thank God when I wake each day

I'm waking next to you

Don't know what I was living for

Before you, before you.



Before I met you, before I held you in the night

Before I found you, before you made everything right

I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life

I got through, babe but I don't know how I got by.



Before I found you I don't know how I got by...
