WITH YOU



      WITH YOU,
 I had a fighting chance.
       WITHOUT YOU,
 I have to pay in advance.

      WITH YOU,
I found a reason to believe.
      WITHOUT YOU,
I'm absent without leave.

     WITH YOU,
I lived in the sun.
     WITHOUT YOU,
Nothing is fun.

    WITH YOU,
I could see a light.
    WITHOUT YOU,
 I have stage fright.

    WITH YOU,
 I felt the riches.
    WITHOUT YOU,
 I wear big girl britches.

      WITH YOU,
 The water was warm.
      WITHOUT YOU,
 I'm preparing for the storm.

      WITH YOU,
 I believe in tomorrow.
     WITHOUT YOU,
 I know pain and sorrow.

     WITH YOU,
 Everything was easy.
     WITHOUT YOU,
Nothing can please me.

   WITH YOU,
 I believed in fate.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I can only hate.

   WITH YOU,
I believed in God.
   WITHOUT YOU,
I face the firing squad.

   WITH YOU,
 I felt alive.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 It's crash and dive.

   WITH YOU,
 I could see.
   WITHOUT YOU,
There is no me.
