I might have done a lot of things
Been smiled upon by kings and queens
Had you been around
Perhaps had you been by my side
My dreams might not have been denied
Had you been around

I've wasted many years
Tasted many tears
And I want to know
Lost on my own
Before I knew of you

I might have heard the sigh
Of summer passing by
Had you been around
And though it seems absurd
I'd really never heard
A sound

Until that day
You came my way
With pleasure I'd never found
It all might have been
Had you been around
Had you been around
Yeah, perhaps had you been by my side
My dreams might not have been denied
Had you been around

I've wasted many years
Tasted many tears
And I want to know
I'm lost on my own
Before I knew of you

I might have heard the sigh
Of summer passing by
Had you been around
And though it seems absurd
I'd really never heard
A sound

Until that day
You came my way
With pleasure I never found
It all might have been
Had you been around, one more time
It all might have been
Had you been around, do it again
It all might have been
Had you been around
Had you been around
