Lisa Patton | If Not For You

Writers: Michael McDonald, Lisa Patton, Amy Holland

So much time spent looking for myself

Trying to find out who I am

All that led me here to you

In this moment where we stand

Until now—I’ve been searching for my truth

Could it be—I have found it here in you?

chorus

With so many still longing for

The wonder of it all

In your eyes I found living proof

In this world so incomplete

And at times—so much to lose

I would have had my doubts

I would have given up

But for you

If not for you

Who would have thought, who could imagine

The time it would not take

To find my miracle, in the shape of you

Just in time, just for my sake

Until now—I’ve been searching for my truth

Can it be—I have found myself in you?

chorus

With so many still longing for

The wonder of it all

In your eyes I found living proof

When a heart is so broken

Seems there’s nothing you can do

But fall apart, lose your way

I should have given up; I would have lost my faith

But for you

If not for you

If not for you, baby

Oh, if not for you
