Lyrics
If Not For You
Words and Music by Glenn Schlehofer
Verse1
I?m standing on my driveway in my coat
Staring at the old gray stonewall
Thinking about the vows that I once wrote
To the girl that I almost didn?t call
Chorus
I?m telling you
Girl listen to me
If not for you
My days would be blue
Verse 2
I was barely 17 at the time
I had my Plymouth, my first Gibson guitar
I met the sister of a friend of mine
No one could tear the three of us apart
Chorus
Verse 3
A few years had past since I saw
That girl again that was my close friend
Someone had hooked us up at the bar
A union of sorts it was a perfect blend
Chorus
Refrain
Chorus
