If Not For You

(((Listen!))) http://www.deezer.com/track/2837

If not for you,
Babe, I couldn't find the door,
Couldn't even see the floor,
I'd be sad and blue,
If not for you.

If not for you,
Babe, I'd lay awake all night,
Wait for the mornin' light
To shine in through,
But it would not be new,
If not for you.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
I'd be lost if not for you,
And you know it's true.

Oh! What would I do
If not for you?

If not for you,
Winter would have no spring,
Couldn't hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue,
Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
If not for you.

Background: Got up this morning feeling inexplicably down in the dumps, so I spun this song on the turntable. Okay, not turntable; iTunes. I first heard this song was on a mixed tape Hooman made for me back at uni, which I've lost. But the physical thing itself is not as important as the memory, which I reflect on from time to time. Such as now, while caught in the clutches of the doldrums. Now, on to a new day!
