How did I wake up each day
Before that moment, I saw your face
Where was I before your touch
No where is where I was, without you
Without you in it, my life was just a lie
Before you, I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you, before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby, but I don't know how I got by

How did I get through those nights
Before that moment, I held you tight?
And where was I before your kiss?
And how did I exist without you?
Life had no meaning, no reason and no rhyme
And before you, I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you, before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby, but I don't know how I got by

I thank God when I wake each day
Awaking next to you
Don't know what I was living for
Before you, before you oh

Before I met you, before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you, before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby, but I don't know how I got by

Before I met you, I don't know how I got by
