First Impressions lyrics

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you
If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

(McLean)

No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground

And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I've never noticed without you

(George Harrison)

What I feel I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

What I know I can do
If I give my love to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need

(Bill Danoff/Taffy Nivert/John Denver)

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

Almost heaven,West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain,Shenandoe River
Life is old there,older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like the breeze

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama

(Sanson/Osborne)

Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this is not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another's skin
Breathing out as he's breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him

(Olivia Newton-John)

We said a million times we'd change
Can't bring myself to say those words again
A piper never changes tune
You can't grow apples on the moon

The hurtful things we say still penetrate
And whispered sorrys always come too late
Then the damage has been done
What are we going to tell our son?

I want to spare his broken heart
Break it gently that we'll live apart

(Sanson/Osborne)
