If Not For You

If anything I am or hope to be

If any compliments are paid to me

If any praises I receive for anything that I achieve

I'll know they rightfully belong to you

For when I wonder you convinced me that I could

Knowing you depended on me proved I should

And in your mind you never doubted that I would

But what would I do (what would I do) if not for you

I see admiration in your eyes

And I believe you think I hung the moon

And if I fail like other men or find the will and try again

But anything I am begins with you

For when I wonder you convinced me that I could

Knowing you depended on me proved I should

And in your mind you never doubted that I would

Oh but what would I do (what would I do) if not for you

What would I do (what would I do) if not for you
