how do i
Get through one night without you
If i had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh i, i need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my heart my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life.

And tell me now
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?.

Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
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
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?...

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby coz you know your everything good in my life

And tell me now
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

How do i live without you
How do i live without you baby.......
How do i live....

Sometimes you wonder how much i care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And i take for granted our love is secure
But if i started losing you, one thing is sure

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

I learned to be strong a long time ago
And i can face any wind no matter how hard it blows
But i'd have to be stronger than i want to be
If i had to live without you loving me

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

No one matters more in my life
Or makes me feel like you make me feel inside
And i've come far enough to know
Love's worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

i can see you turn away when i ask what for
You say it isn't anything, but i'm not sure
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
And you try to keep it in, but i can see

The woman before me must have been hard on you
'cause that hurt in your eyes, i never put you through
Sometimes i think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you

Sometimes in an argument, it will show
When you go a little farther than you meant to go
I know you don't mean the things that you say
I just wanna ease the pain that's in your way

But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'cause that hurt in your eyes, i never put you through
Sometimes i think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Here in my heart

'cause you and i will never be like the past
Whatever kind of memories that you have
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it a vow that i can keep

But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'cause that hurt in your eyes, i never put you through
Sometimes i think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes i think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you

In another's eyes
I'm someone who
Loves her enough to walk away from you
I'd never cheat, i'd never lie
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
I can do no wrong
He believes in me and his faith is strong
I'd never fall or even compromise
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
I'm afraid that i can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And i pray they never do
'cause every time i look i'm seein' you
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
Starin' back at me
I see a sinking soul trying desperately
To turn the tide before it dies
In another's eyes

And what they don't see is killing me
And it's a blessing and a curse that love is blind

In another's eyes
I'm afraid that i can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And i pray they never do
'cause every time i look i'm seein' you
In another's eyes
In another's eyes
In another's eyes

I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When i heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if i wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After i'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a god in heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for eden
It was just around the bend
And though i have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though i can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think i haven't gotten very far
And i hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If i stop to wonder how on earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge i burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners i have turned
Still i guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten

The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

Katie's sitting on the old front porch
Watching the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot going on tonight
In this one horse town.
Over yonder, coming up the road
In a beat-up chevy truck
Her boyfriend tommy, he's laying on the horn
Splashing through the mud and the muck

Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But katie's young and man she just don't care
She'd follow tommy anywhere

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Katie and tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
But later on outside the tastee freeze,
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says, "my high school ring will have to do
Till i can buy a wedding band"

Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But katie's young and man she just don't care
She'd follow tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says, "young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk"
But mama breaks in and says, "don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didn't have a row to hoe"

"my daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at tommy like i still look at you"

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy

What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday.
She's in love with the boy....
