[Verse 1]
The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I never take in a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
[Refrain]
I'd been alone for sure had it not been you
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't reach for your arms when my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands on a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
[Refrain]
I'd get old for sure had it not been you
[Verse 3]
You know there are times that I can't wait to pick up the phone when you're calling
And the three little voices that always chime in right along when we're talking
Oh I never would see through eyes of truth and my heart would have overlooked
[Refrain]
A view that some just talk of and never find in a lifetime
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
It's hard to describe in just words how I feel when I hold stand beside you
And I make it known it's just time that I kill when I'm gone and without you
I'm up all through the night if you love me as long as I wake up each morning
[Refrain]
I'll know I'm the only one around for a lifetime
[Outro]
I never take in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure had it not been you
The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I never take in a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
[Refrain]
I'd been alone for sure had it not been you
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't reach for your arms when my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands on a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
[Refrain]
I'd get old for sure had it not been you
[Verse 3]
You know there are times that I can't wait to pick up the phone when you're calling
And the three little voices that always chime in right along when we're talking
Oh I never would see through eyes of truth and my heart would have overlooked
[Refrain]
A view that some just talk of and never find in a lifetime
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
