If I Lost You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's been times I've felt like half a man
Life's had me down on my knees
Troubled times, I don't understand
Why they happen to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I have struggled through the darkness
And I have found the light of day

[Chorus]
But if I lost you
There'd be no sunshine shinin' through
I don't know what in the world I would do
If I lost you

[Verse 2]
Like a ship with no harbor
Like a bird with no wings
Like a fish out of water
A dreamer without a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
I have learned about losing
I could lose most anything
[Chorus]
But if I lost you
There'd be no sunshine shinin' through
I don't know what in the world I would do
If I lost you

[Chorus]
Oh, if I lost you
There'd be no sunshine shinin' through
I don't know what in the world I would do
If I lost you

[Outro]
If I lost you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
