How did I wake up each day
Before that moment I saw your face
Where was I before your touch
Nowhere is where I was without you
Without you in it, my life was just a lie
Before you, I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, before I held you in the night, I don't know how I survived
Before I found you, before you made everything right, I was half alive
I wasn't really living 'til you came into my life
I got through, baby, but I don't know how I got by

How did I get through those nights before that moment I held you tight
And where was I before your kiss, and how did I exist without you
Life had no meaning, no reason and no rhyme
And before you, I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, before I held you in the night, I don't know how I survived
Before I found you, before you made everything right, I was half alive
I wasn't really living 'til you came into my life
I got through, baby, but I don't know how I got by

I thank God when I wake each day, awaking next to you
Don't know what I was living for before you, before you, ohh

Before I met you, before I held you in the night, I don't know how
Before I found you, before you made everything right, I was half alive
I wasn't really living 'til you came into my life
I got through, baby, but I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, I don't know how I got by
