Lyrics

My Heart Can't Do Without

Verse 1

The morning sun falls softly on your face and I can't help but stare.
You hurry out the bedroom to brush your long brown hair.
I'm a mess, you say but I'm lost somewhere looking in your eyes;
You're as pretty as a picture and you don't even have to try.

Verse 2

You laugh when I get choked up watching old home movies time after time.
You always wonder why I hold you so close all through the night.
It's because I hold you precious as the next breath that gives me life;
You're my best friend, my lover,and my wife.

Chorus

Honestly, I love you more each day that I am blessed to live.
Faithfully, I vow to give you all that a man could ever give.
And after all these years together, I can still say without a doubt
You're the one thing that my heart can't do without.

Verse 3

Now the years slip by so quickly and they've turned our hair to gray,
But I still see you just as lovely as on our wedding day.
When I vow my love forever, I mean every word I say;
(spoken) I love you with all my soul, you can count on that, I'll never go away.

Repeat Chorus

You're the one thing that my heart can't do without.
