Alison Krauss
Had It Not Been You
[Verse 1]
The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I never take in a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings

[Refrain]
I'd been alone for sure had it not been you

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
I'd get old for sure had it not been you

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
A view that some just talk of and never find in a lifetime
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
It's hard to describe in just words how I feel when I hold stand beside you
And 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 love me as long as I wake up each morning

[Refrain]
I'll know I'm the only one around for a lifetime

[Outro]
I 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
