If not for you I’d grow old without living life Riding chrome horses with a calm demeanor with my charismatic wife Passing by bakeries and butcher shops cutting bread and spreading red wine with a knife Getting off at our destination I would start to get rude If not for you
If not for you My wife wouldn’t fall in love To me she would’ve been the white dove Of peace with hair of a golden fleece And I would regularly meet my niece Like I used to If not for you
If not for you I’d be drugged and bugged and gray I’d probably end all of it by May But till this year’s day I still could say Beside her I lie Because I need her too But I hope I someday I don’t have to woo If not for you
If not for you The rain wouldn’t leave the morning bright The light wouldn’t leave the beauteous sight Of rainbows shining through puddles and the fresh morning dew If not for you
If not for you I wouldn’t have to choose her too But the game has enticed me To play it through Everything looks like an enhanced retrospective view If not for you
