Everything I've loved has now been taken away.
You were there all along, now for your return I pray.
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You had a love that was true
And I know you've helped me through my strife
You had a love that was true
You had a love that was true
You were my hope, my joy, my song,
I gave you my affection.
You gave me strength to carry on
You gave my life direction.
I need someone and that someone's got to be you.
Though you've been there all along you're just like a prayer come true.
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You had a love that was true
And I know you've helped me through my strife
You had a love that was true
You had a love that was true
I said that I would never leave
But now you've left me.
Was I a fool? Was I naive?
I need to know, please tell me.
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You had a love that was true
And I know you've helped me through my strife
You had a love that was true
You had a love that was true
