Description
I wrote this song well over 20 years ago when I was performing with my band in and around the North Texas area. I have only sung it myself until recently some other artist have expressed some interest in recording my song. It is a song that is great for weddings, Mother's and Father's Day, anniversary's, and all kinds of dedication type ceremonies. It is a song that speaks to all the people worldwide and could be recorded in every language on earth.
Lyrics
If It Had Not Been For You I'd never made it quite this far, if it had not been for you I'd never learned how to love, if it had not been for you That's why today I proudly say, I'll never again be blue I'd never been the man I am, If it had not been for you It's so hard to take the pain that life can sometimes give To be so lost and never have what you really need to live That's why today I proudly say I'll never again be blue I'd never been the man I am, If it had not been for you (recitation) As the years drift away, Mama Our love will stay strong Cause With love like ours, this cruel old world could never do us wrong And should I go before you Remember one thing is true I'd never been the man I am, if it had not been for you Oh no, I'd never been the man I am If it had not been for you.
