had it not been you

Alan Jackson

The girl s wouldn t look anything like they do
Can t imagine my life without dresses and shoes
Or never taking a sunset from a 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 your hair
Or laugh when we 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 callin
And the three little voices
That always chime in right along
When we re talkin

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 hold stand beside you
But I make it known
It s just time that I kill
When I m alone and without you
I will love all through the night
If you love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I ll know I m the only one around
For a lifetime

I d never have taken 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
