(lead vocal: Richie Furay)

It's hard to see myself out there alone
People starin' 'cause I got no home
Nowhere to lay my head, so I just walk on
Searchin' for somethin', daylight 'til dawn

When I had taken about all I could take, oh no, where's my life goin'
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along

 Chorus:
If it wasn't for you - there'd be no one to make me try
If it wasn't for you - I'd just stand here and cry
If it wasn't for you - who would care if I lived or died
If it wasn't for you, now I know I'll get through

I don't know how it got to be this way
The hope of life just seemed to slip away
Can I find the strength to face another day
I can't pretend now, want it to end now

When I had taken about all I could take, oh no, where's my life goin'
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along

(chorus)

(Solo)

If it wasn't for you - who could I turn to - if it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you - I'd feel my heart break in two
If it wasn't for you - yeah, what would I do
