[Intro: Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, Both]
I just can't imagine, I just can't imagine
Life without you

[Verse 1: Regina Belle]
I can't imagine life without you
I always thought we made the perfect pair
I can't imagine walking into
The house we called our home without you there
We had the love, we had the magic
How could we let it disappear?
Now all the laughter's turned so tragic
And all my faith has turned to fear

[Verse 2: Peabo Bryson]
I can't imagine life without you
And yet my restless feet are walking toward the door
I can't believe I'm really leaving
I can't fake this feeling anymore
I didn't mean to ever hurt you
It's not as if I didn't care
I so afraid if I desert you
The pain may be too hard to bear

[Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, both]
Maybe if we tried to talk it over one more time
We search out our souls and somehow we could find
All the hopes and dreams that we're about to leave behind
We had the kind love that's shared by just a few
Maybe we can turn it into something new
(We can turn it into something new)
'Cause I just can't imagine, I just can't imagine
I just can't imagine life without you

[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone solo]

[Bridge: Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle]
Can't imagine life without you, baby
Oh, I can't imagine, baby

[Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, Both]
Maybe if we tried to talk it over one more time
We search out our souls and somehow we could find
All the hopes and dreams that we're about to leave behind
We had the kind love that's shared by just a few
Maybe we can turn it into something new
'Cause I just can't imagine, I just can't imagine
I just can't imagine life without you

[Outro: Regina Belle]
I don't wanna live without you, baby
