Well, I lost my heart on the day we met
But I gained a lot that I don't regret
Then I hung around 'til you said, ''I do.''
I knew I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you.
Well, I count my blessings every night I pray
That the Lord lets me keep you just one more day
And every day he does, 'cause God knows too
That I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark, out in the cold
Blowing around from town to town like a feather in the wind.
If I didn't have you I know I'd be floundering around like a ship at sea
Lost in the rain or a hurricane, that's where I'd have been.
But I didn't get lost 'cause I saw your light
Shining like a beacon on a cold, dark night
And the sun came up and the skies turned blue
Oh, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
Well, I've already said it but I swear it's true
I know, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you...
