A LOVING YOU

I've seen love come and go
and baby don't you know
there's only one whose left here to be blue
well I can cook my meals
and I can make those business deals
all without the help of a loving you

We talked two weeks ago
about the ways that we might grow
and you were wondering if I'd been true
there's only one who sees
all the dreams inside of me
and it's all without the help of a loving you

and the time is passing
creating distance from the love
hearts are bleeding as we rise above
and the birds are singing
for the times that we once knew
all without the help of a loving you

I'll stop for beer at five
sometimes only half alive
I'll sit alone and write a tune or two
and as I walk back home
I think of all the dreams I've blown
all without the help of a loving you

and the fallen feelings
they've been keeping me awake
and losing your loving made my heart ache
still I'm clinging to what I feel is true
all without the help of a loving you

You might pass this way again
and you might even call me friend
but you will not know me cause I'll be new
I'll change on through these days
Lord living life is just a phase
all without the help of a loving you
all without the help of a loving you
I do it all without the help of a loving you
