If There Were No You

Verse 1 
Tell me, what would I become 
In a world where all things pass, 
With no warmth within your eyes, 
With no love to hold me fast? 

Pre-Chorus 
If there were no you, 
I would search for love once more— 
Like a fire against the grey, 
Like a light upon the shore, 
Like a hope worth waiting for. 

Chorus 
If there were no you, 
Who on earth would I live for? 
A thousand faces might go by, 
But none could make my spirit soar. 
If there were no you, 
Every road would lead me through 
All the loneliness and night, 
Till it brought me back to you. 

Verse 2 
If there were no you, 
I would drift from place to place, 
Through a thousand strangers’ stories, 
Seeking yours in every face, 
Longing for your warm embrace. 

I would search each newborn morning, 
Every street and avenue, 
For a sign that fate was turning, 
For a path that led to you. 

Chorus 
If there were no you, 
Who on earth would I live for? 
A thousand faces might go by, 
But none could make my spirit soar. 
If there were no you, 
Every road would lead me through 
All the loneliness and night, 
Till it brought me back to you. 

Verse 3 
If there were no you, 
Could I ever be my own? 
I might laugh among the many, 
Yet within remain alone— 
Like a king without a throne. 

I might smile beneath the sunlight, 
Hide the sorrow none could see, 
While the silence in my heart cried: 
“You’re the missing part of me.” 

Bridge 
Maybe then, too late, I’d know 
What I’d sought both far and wide 
Had been waiting all along, 
Like a harbour for the tide— 
In your hands and by your side. 

All the answers to my wandering, 
All the dreams I once pursued, 
I would find within your eyes, love— 
I would find my world in you. 

Final Chorus 
If there were no you, 
Tell me, where would I belong? 
In this vast and restless world, 
How could I still carry on? 
If I could not find you there, 
How could any road be true? 
I would follow every star 
Just to find my way to you. 

If there were no you, 
I would search for love once more— 
Like a fire against the grey, 
Like a light upon the shore, 
Like the hope my heart held on to, 
Till I found you as before. 

Outro 
If there were no you, my love, 
I would dream you into view— 
For in every life and every world, 
I would still come home to you.
