But for Love - Eddy Arnold

So it’s rainin' again

And the wind’s up in a roar

I’ve been swept through the streets

To be washed up at your door

But you’re with him I know

So I’ll crawl back later on

Why do I need you so

But for love I’d be gone

With my back to the wind

I’m wondering what it is about you

That makes it so hard to stay

And harder yet to live without you

So I’ll look all around

But there’s nothing’s here for me

Like a prisoner I’m bound

But for you I’d be free

But for you I’d be gone on a jet

Leavin' today for a place in the sun far away

But the rain still comes down

And the chilly winds keep blowing

Down these cold empty streets

I’m wondering what keeps me going

So I say to myself

Why do you linger on

And my heart cries to me

But for love I’d be gone

But for love I’d be gone…
