Lyrics
VERSE ONE
If not for you, will this old storm subside; if not for you, would it be sunshine and smiles.
If not for you, would all these angry clouds be gone; my long night give way to dawn, my darkness to light of day, if you went far away, but please stay.
VERSE TWO
If not for you could I shake off my fear; if not for you could I hope just once more;
If not for you could my hurting heart find peace; some moment of sweet relief. I wonder what price I'd pay, if you went far away, but please stay.
CHORUS
What good are clouds without the rain
what good is life without this pain
Does the day need the night
Just like I need you
VERSE THREE
If not for you my mornings would bring no joy; if not for you, could I go on.
If not for you my life would lose it's theme, and I'd no longer dream of you,
somewhere so far away, if you go far away, but please stay.
