Edwin McCain: I Don’t Know How I Got By
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 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
And 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
(*)
I think of when I wake each day
Of waking next to you
I don’t know what I was living for
Before you, before you
(*)
Before I met you, I don’t know how I got by…
