Lyrics
Without You
by Wilfred Kozub
I was not very happy when you crossed the floor
And I felt mad when you walked out on me - (close the door!)
Sometimes I can be a selfish guy
(You never know if you don?t give it a try)
But it was better walkin? by your side
You were blue when I kept too much to myself
And I saw red when your new life started to gel
I became an insignificant guy
I looked up and there was the sky
And I felt so small inside
Without you - without you
Without you - without you
Dark clouds they billow in the night
Strange beauty - violence in the sky
Life?s not perfec and so you won?t hear me complain
I am willing to share a bit of the blame
Too much water in the ocean these days
Too much sky when I look out in space
And I?m not one for the human race . . . without you
Without you - without you - without you
Too much water in the ocean these days
Too much sky when I look out in space
Without you - without you
Without you - without you
