What in the world would I do without you By my side, right where you belong? What would I do if I reached for your love; And all that I reached for was gone I’d try to be strong and keep moving along But I think I would just want to hide I’d wave and I’d smile and I’d stay for a while But there would be nothing inside
All I could ask is to have you to hold In my arms in my dreams in my life All I could want is to know that you want To stay here, be my woman my wife I’ll love you through time and I’ll know that you’re mine, And you’ll always be first in my heart You’ll know that I love you and put no one above you, And nothing could tear us apart.
This is the way that I feel and I know That true love will not fade away I’ll keep you beside me and hold you inside me And we’ll take it day by day
What in the world would I do without you By my side, right where you belong? What would I do if I reached for your love; And all that I reached for was gone I’d try to be strong and keep moving along But I think I would just want to hide I’d wave and I’d smile and I’d stay for a while But there would be nothing inside
What in the world, what in the world What in the world would I do? What in the world, what in the world What in the world would I do?

About this poem:
My favorite of the songs I've written. This was written expressly for my late wife when she was still alive. Didn't intend for it to be prophetic.
Lovely thoughts and full of dedication....wish life didn't put us to the test....we have to be flexible and move on, leaving a part of ourselves where we had been. Seems like you have found what you will do...
Thank you, BeautifulYou. I love the song because I was in love when I wrote it. Now, I am finally back in love again, and hoping I can write some more.
