I Won't Last a Day Without You
Embracing Love's Refuge in a Stranger's World
Lyrics
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Facing a world of strangers day after day.
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
Feeling out of place and lacking strength.
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Finding comfort in the knowledge of someone to turn to.
Who will always care, you're always there
Having assurance that this person will always care and be there.
When there's no getting over that rainbow
Encountering challenges that seem insurmountable.
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
When dreams seem unattainable.
I can take all the madness the world has to give
Being able to endure the world's challenges.
But I won't last a day without you
Declaring an inability to last a day without the person.
So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
Feeling alone in a city without friendly faces.
A lonely place
Describing the city as a lonely place.
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
Finding solace in the assurance of the person's presence.
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
Valuing the person's smile and considering it worthwhile.
When there's no getting over that rainbow
Reiterating the challenges of overcoming obstacles.
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
When dreams remain unfulfilled.
I can take all the madness the world has to give
Expressing the ability to handle the world's challenges.
But I won't last a day without you
Reaffirming the impossibility of lasting a day without the person.
Touch me and I end up singing
Emphasizing the emotional impact of physical touch.
Troubles seem to up and disappear
Problems seem to disappear when touched.
You touch me with the love you're bringing
Highlighting the positive impact of the person's love.
I can't really lose when you're near
Feeling secure and winning when the person is near.
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
Reflecting on friends who may have forgotten promises.
They're not unkind, just hard to find
Not attributing unkindness but acknowledging difficulty in finding them.
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Realizing that being with the person is enough to live without the rest.
Without the rest, I found the best
Recognizing the person as the best.
When there's no getting over that rainbow
Repeating the theme of challenges that seem insurmountable.
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
Reiterating the theme of unfulfilled dreams.
I can take all the madness the world has to give
Affirming the ability to endure the world's madness.
But I won't last a day without you
Stating the impossibility of lasting a day without the person.
When there's no getting over that rainbow
Repeating the notion of challenges that seem insurmountable.
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
Reiterating the theme of unfulfilled dreams.
I can take all the madness the world has to give
Emphasizing the ability to endure the world's madness.
But I won't last a day without you
Concluding with the declaration of the impossibility of lasting a day without the person.
