“Like a thundercloud without a chance of rain Like a stretch of sandy beach without the waves It's like I'm spinning my wheels Down a lonely interstate Me Without You It's a picture perfect sky without a view It's an empty seat at a table for two It's having all the time in the world And nothing to do Me without you I've been loving you so long I'm a leaf lost in the wind I want to be so strong But I don't know how to begin So I keep holding on Cause I don't know what else to do I try to be, but I'm not me Without you It's a beautiful song to be sung But no one to sing It's this beat up old guitar missing a string It's me calling in the middle of the night And it just rings Me without you I've been loving you so long I'm a leaf lost in the wind I want to be so strong But I don't know how to begin So I keep holding on Cause I don't know what else to do I try to be, but I'm not me Without you Baby, tonight I'm gonna light your favorite candles And open a bottle of my favorite Spanish wine Gonna listen to the song that we made love to the first time It's all I can do It's all I can do I've been loving you so long I'm a leaf lost in the wind I want to be so strong But I don't know how to begin So I keep holding on Cause I don't know what else to do I try to be, but I'm not me Without you I can try to be, but I'm not me without you.”
