There was a time when I believed I could reach all of my dreams And I could make it in this world alone But as I tried to make my way Through the forest of my days Well that truth in my heart struck home And now I know Is that I can't get there without you I need you by my side To help me make it through No I can't get there without you You're the love I need To keep me strong and true No, I won't walk through life without you From the moment that we met You have been my inner strength And in the desert of my fears, my home If I should fall, you hear my call Oh when I lose my way You're the compass of my heart and soul You need to know That I can't get there without you I need you by my side To help me make it through No I can't get there without you You're the love I need To keep me strong and true No, I won't walk through life without you I'm gonna put my faith in the road we take In the promise up ahead And I will walk with time 'Cause in my eyes you're mine til the end Oh, I can't get there without you I need you by my side To help me make it through No and now, it's so easy for me to see That some things are just meant to be No, I won't walk through life without you I would fall apart, slip into the dark I would lose my way No I can't get there without you You're the love I need To keep me strong and true
