How Did I Get By Without You

John Waite

There was a time

When I thought I knew

Everything about

this great big world

Until I met you

Into my life

Like a brand new sun

Now I find my home

inside your eyes

Wherever you are

It's hard to say it

Cause I hide things so good

But you make me say it

Like only you could

I love you

More than any man could ever say

I need you

Baby let me count the ways

And I'll be here

I believe in everything you do

So how did I get by without you

For the longest time

Playing games of solitaire

Taking my wine

But now I'm with you baby

And I can dream out loud

You're as pretty as a picture

And you make me so proud

It's hard to say it

Cause I hide things so good

But you make me say it

Like only you could

I love you

More than any words could ever say

I need you

Baby let me count the ways

And I'll be here

There¹s nothing in this world I couldn't do

So how did I get by without you

You love me

Now I know that I'm the lucky guy

You've got me

And there's nowhere I can hide

So I'll be here

I believe that all my dreams came true

So how did I get by without you

In the morning light

To see you wake up next to me

It¹s a beautiful sight

Now everything's alright

Yeah

I love you

More than any words could ever say

I need you

Baby let me count the ways

And I'll be here

I believe in everything you do

So how did I get by without you

You love me

Now I know that I'm the lucky guy

You've got me

And there's nowhere I can hide

So I'll stay here

I believe in everything you do

So how did I get by without you

How did I get by

How did I get by without you in my world

How did I get by without you as my girl

You're beautiful

Beautiful

So how did I get by without you

Without you

Without you
