I'm the keeper of your heart I keep the flame when we're apart I'm the lover in your arms Or a baby soft and warm I'm a hero in your eyes I'm a comfort when you cry When you hurt me I'm your fool But I'm nothin' without you No I'm nothin' without you It don't matter what I do If I win or if I lose Sweetheart I'm nothin' without you I'm a beacon in the night To show the way until it's light I'm a stumbler in the dark When I can't say what's in my heart I'm a poet just the same Every time I speak your name I'm just a shadow when I'm blue But I'm nothin' without you No I'm nothin' without you It don't matter what I do If I win or if I lose Sweetheart I'm nothin' without you
