Name: I Don't Know What I'd Do (Without You)
Duration: P00H04M52S
Description: I wrote this song one Saturday morning after Julie had gone to work. She made me a cup of tea before she left as I was very hungover (gin). The song started off being written about her, but became about how we all need each other. The world can be an unfriendly place. Especially when hungover.

about

I wrote this song one Saturday morning after Julie had gone to work. She made me a cup of tea before she left as I was very hungover (gin). The song started off being written about her, but became about how we all need each other. The world can be an unfriendly place. Especially when hungover.

lyrics

The sun can shine
'Cause, when you're shining too
I don't know what I'd do
without you
Don't mind the rain
'Cause, we can smile on through
I don't know what I'd do without you.

As long as we're together we'll be fine
As long as I am yours and you are mine
We don't have to hide
Don't have to stay inside
The world is safe
As long as I can see your smiling face

The sun can shine
'Cause, when you're shining too
I don't know what I'd do without you
Don't mind the rain
We can smile on through
I don't know what I'd do without you

We see all the people come and go
I find it helps to know
We all have our home and
We can't do this alone
We need each other
Whether friend or foe, sister or brother

The sun can shine
'Cause, when you're shining too
I don't know what I'd do without you
Don't mind the rain
We can smile on through
I don't know what I'd do
without you

And, as aeroplanes unzip the sky
I slowly close my eyes
Feel the sun on my face
I love the human race
Despite its faults
Though they be many
It would be a lie to say I don't have any
