How did I wake up each day
Before that moment I saw your face
Where was I before your touch
Nowhere is where I was without you
Without you in it
My life was just a lie
And before you
I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life
I got through, babe
But I don't know how I got by

How did I get through those nights
Before the moment I held you tight
And where was I before your kiss
And how did I exist without you
Life had no meaning
No reason and no rhyme
And before you
I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life
I got through, babe
But I don't know how I got by

I thank God when I wake each day
I'm waking next to you
Don't know what I was living for
Before you, before you

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I wasn't really living 'till you came into my life
I got through, babe
But I don't know how I got by

Before I found you
I don't know how I got by
