Lyrics
As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand this love that that I feel
Is so right and so real I realize how lucky I am
And to you ever wonder if my love is true
There is something that I want to make clear with you
There’s no way I could make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day, oh baby, there’s no way
It means so much to me whenever I see that ‘wanting me’ look in your eyes
I don’t know how I could do without holding you close every night
I’ve waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that I’ve got you, I’ll never let go
There’s no way I could make it without you
There’s no way that I ‘d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day, oh baby, there’s no way
I never knew what to do, what I was missin’
Now you say forever, I find my heart is listenin’, yes, I’m listenin’
There’s no way I could make it without you
There’s no way that I ‘d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day, oh baby, there’s no way
