If Not for You - Bob Dylan

(La-ra-ra-ra, la-ra-ra-ra) (La-ba-ra-ba-ra, pa-pa) There'll be no summer There'll be no spring If not for this love of mine Thornes without flowers Bars with no drinks If not for this love of mine All the lights All the parties would just fade out Shut them down If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-ta, da-ba-ra-ba-ra) If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-pa) If not for you, hell would be knockin' on my door If not for you No more Nirvana No Billy Jean No dancin' if you were gone How could I wake up How could I sleep How could I be someone All those crowds All the music would just fade out Not a sound If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-ta, da-ba-ra-ba-ra) If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-pa) If not for you, hell would be knockin' on my door If not for you, ooh-ooh (La-ra-ra-ra, la-ra-ra-ra) (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-ta) (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, ta-ta) (La-ra-ra-ra, la-ra-ra-ra) (Da-ba-ra-ba-ra, pa-pa) If not for you, hell would be knockin' on my door If not for you, ooh-ooh

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 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 would be lost, if not for you If not for you The winter would hold no spring Couldn't hear a robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, 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 would be lost, if not for you If not for you The winter would hold no spring Couldn't hear a robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you

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 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, the Winter would hold no Spring Couldn't hear a robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, 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, the Winter would hold no Spring You couldn't hear a robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you If not for you

Stake my future on a hell of a past Looks like tomorrow is coming on fast Ain't complaining 'bout what I got Seen better times, but who has not? Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Honest as the next jade rolling that stone When I come knocking don't throw me no bone I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home If you don't like it you can leave me alone I can snap my fingers and require the rain From a clear blue sky and turn it off again I can stroke your body and relieve your pain And charm the whistle off an evening train Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know I give what I got until I got no more I take what I get until I even the score You know I love you and furthermore When it's time to go you got an open door I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain You give something up for everything you gain Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain Pay for your ticket and don't complain Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go, go Find out something only dead men know One of these days and it won't be long Going down in the valley and sing my song I will sing it loud and sing it strong Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Come on Come on
