Without You

Janis Ian

I miss you, jealous lover
Won't you come on over
to my side of town?
I need you
like the city needs
the sound of human voices
I want you
like the winter wants the springtime

Without you
the world stands alone
Without you
the past lingers on
Tomorrow
becoming today
Without you,
it's all the same
without you

Outside my window,
gentle lover,
the birds are singing songs of love
I need you
They are calling for
the sound of laughing children
I want you
They are singing for your pleasure

Lover, without you,
the world stands alone
Without you,
the past lingers on
Tomorrow
becoming today
Without you,
it's all the same

I see you -
a world without end
Then I need you
all over again
Without you
the sun doesn't shine
Tomorrow is blind
without you
