DESCRIPTION:
I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU BY PAUL WILLIAMS

Day after day
I must face a world of strangers where I don't belong
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times
When the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile
It's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love

If all my friends had forgotten half their promises they're not unkind
Just hard to find
One look at you
And I know that I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
