The girls wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I'd never take in a sunset
From the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you
I wouldn't reach for your arms
When my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands
On a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers
Run through you hair
Or laugh when we'd race
To the top of the stairs
I'd get old for sure
Had it not been you
You know there are times
That I can't wait to pick up the phone
When you're calling
And the three little voices
That always chime in right along
When we're talking
Oh I never would see through eyes of truth
And my heart would have overlooked
A view that some just talk of
And never find in a lifetime
It's hard to describe in just words
How I feel when I'm home
And beside you
But I make it known it's just time
That I kill when I'm gone
And without you
I'm up all through the night
If you will love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I know I'll be only one around
For a lifetime
I'd never take in a sunset
From the front porch swing
Or make any sense
Of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you
