What Would I Do Without You
What would I do without you?
You are the glue that holds my life together
The staple that keeps me from losing myself
You are the blood that flows through my veins
The cells that replenishes my heart with oxygen
You are my reason for living
My motivation
The driving force behind all I do
What would I do without you?
You are my constant
On you I can always depend
You are my guardian
Me you continuously defend
On guard you warn me of dangers ahead
You tell me what to avoid and how
What would I do without you?
Well,
I wouldn't exist
