Lyrics

when i think of you
my day gets brighter
genuine and exciting
that was you
and on you i relied
for wisdom and your vision
too
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life with you
i know you were over there
cause you wanted to be
please answer me
in my prayers
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life with you
and i've too few friends
to lose a friend
and i'm hangin on
by a single thread
but i know in the end
we're what we choose
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
beside you
what am i to do
i was supposed to spend my life
withyou
what am i to do
what am i to do
what am i to do
without you

I like how the instrumentation is layered as the song begins. I have a feeling of anticipation. The backing vocals add to it and actually push the lead vocals to the front. Really accentuates the message of the song. Nice cymbal work. Very well-written song. Strong emotion in lyrics and vocal delivery.
