One Day Without You

One day without you,
And I feel just like I'm somebody else.
One day without you,
And there's a fear there might be somebody else.
You know that I'd like to keep you,
Keep you to myself, and by my side.
You know I'd like to keep you,
Just like I know it's wrong to try.
Just like my babies we're born to cry;
Every bird that sings is born to fly.

One day without you,
And I feel just like some lost ship at sea.
One day without you,
And every friend I meet seems strange to me.

You know that I'd like to keep you
Keep you to myself, by my side.
You know that I like to keep you,
Just like I know it's wrong to try.
Just like my babies we're born to cry;
Every bird that sings is born to fly.

One day without you,
I feel a hole just where my heart should be.
One day without you,
And I feel just how sad my life could be.

You know I'd like to keep you,
Keep you to myself, keep you by my side.
You know I like to keep you,
Just like I know it's wrong to try.
Just like my babies we're born to cry;
Every bird that sings deserves to fly...
