Amanda Marshall - If I Didn't Have You

Amanda Marshall az a kedvenc kanadai énekesnőm, akit már otthon is ismertem, persze csak Bill jóvoltából. A zenéje és hangja iránti szeretetem azóta mit sem változott. Amanda egyébként torontói (talán itt lakik épp a szomszédban?) és '72-ben született trinidadi édesanya és kanadai apuka gyermekeként. A szülei három évesen iratták be a torontói zenei konzervatóriumba, ahol hosszú évekig komoly zenét tanult.
Szeretném most megosztani veletek a számomra egyik legfontosabb dalát.

(Gábor, ez lett volna az a dal, amit egyszer szerettem volna elküldeni Neked és Bettinek "ajándékba" annak apropóján, hogy újra egymásra találtatok. Örülök Nektek nagyon és kívánok minden-minden jót teljes szívemből!! :-)))

Hát íme a dal:

I don't know what I was thinking / 'Til I was thinking of you
I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes / And you came into view
I don't know what i was doing / When there was nothing to do
Must have been waiting for some one, baby
Now I can see - I was waiting for you

CHORUS
I'd give up my sight just to see you / I'd beg i would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to touch you / And tear out my heart so you'd know how i feel
There's nowhere i wouldn't follow / There's nothing I wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me / If I didn't have you

Driving myself to distraction / Until you got in my way
I was just whistling Dixie 'til you struck up the band / And they started to play
I don't know how i was living / Until you came into my life
I always knew there was something wrong / Then you came along / Baby, you made it right

CHORUS

I was alone in the silence / 'Til I was hearing your voice
I couldn't see my way clear until you parted the clouds / And you gave me a choice
I couldn't pick up the pieces / 'Til I was falling apart
I didn't know i was bleeding / 'Til your love fixed this hole baby, here in my heart

I'd give up my sight just to see you / I'd beg I would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to feel you / And tear out my heart so you'd know how i feel
There's nowhere i wouldn't follow / There's no place that i'd rather be
This life without you would be hollow / This love is a gift and you gave it to me
All that I am, you have made me / And baby, i know that's it's true
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat / just to spend every moment with you
There's no place i wouldn't follow / There's nothing that i wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me / If I didn't have you
