[1st verse:]
There was I satisfied to live and die
In a little world where life was all arranged
There were you in a world I never knew
Suddenly we met and ev'rything was changed
[Refrain:]
All my life, I did without you
But now I can't do without you
All my life I never missed you
Until I kissed you
I never missed you
All through life I went
And thought that I was meant
To live and be content
Without you
Then I put my arms about you
And now I can't do without you
[2nd verse:]
There was I gazing at a cloudy sky
Thinking that the clouds were all there was to see
There were you pointing to a sky of blue
Showing me how bright a day could really be
