When my world is turning
When it's turning upside down
When all I see is rain
When I think the night won't end

I just think of you
And I can see the sun again

Wherever would I be without you, tell me
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Whatever would I be without you

I'd be nowhere, I'd be nowhere
When the dreams I dream
All seem a million miles away
When I'm sure, I'll never win

When it's looking like
I've left my faith
I just look at you baby
And I got reason to believe again

Wherever would I be without you, tell me
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Whatever would I be without you

Without you to love me
I'd just be wasting time
And goin' out of my mind

Wherever would I be without you, tell me
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Whatever would I be without you

Wherever would I be without you, tell me
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Whatever would I be without you

Wherever would I be without you, tell me
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Whatever would I be without you
