[Verse 1]
How do I get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul and if you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now

[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?

[Verse 2]
Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I, baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you, if you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now

[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I (How do I?), how do I, oh, how do I live?

[Bridge]
Please, tell me, baby
How do I go on if you ever leave?
Baby, you would take away everything, I need you with me
Baby, don't you know that you're everything good in my life?
And tell me now

[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go
How do I ever (Ever), ever survive?
How do I (How do I?), how do I, oh, how do I live?
(How do I live?) How do I live without you? (How do I live?)
How do I live without you, baby? (How do I live?)
(How do I live?) How do I live without you?
(How do I, how do I live?)
(How do I live?)
How do I live without you? (How do I live?)
(How do I, how do I?) How do I live without you, baby?

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
