Lyrics

It's called "Without You"
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows, wo-oh-oh-oh
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know, oh-oh-oh
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore, uh-uh
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows, oh, oh-oh-oh
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore, oh-oh
(No, I can't live) oh-oh
(No, I can't live)
No-oh-oh
No, no, I, no, no, no, I
I can't live (no, I can't live)
If living is without you (no, I can't live)
Oh, I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live (no, I can't live)
(No, I can't live)
You reprising mean so much to me
And if you back up a little bit
I'm gonna come down and sing a little song to you
Tell you a little story
How you doing?
How are you, ha-ha-ha
