Take away the song a songbird sings
Take away the sound that laughter brings
Take the music from a melody
Never take your love away from me

You make me smile
You make darkness turn into warm sunshine
You give me love
The Lord above knows

I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here today
I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here to stay

Take away the gentle summer breeze
Take away the golden autumn leaves
I can live without blue skies above
But I could never live without your love

You give me life
You make bad times turn into the good times
You give me love
The Lord above knows

I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here to stay
I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here to stay

I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here today
I wouldn't know what to do if you wouldn't be my lady
