Roy Clark - For the Life of Me lyrics

(Joe Allison - Joyce Harris)

How can there be a song without the music

How can there be a wave without the sea

The lighting needs a thunder as a speaking voice

And I must have you for the life of me.

How can there be a baby with no crying

A future with no past can never be

A humming bird can't live unless it's free to fly

And I must have you for the life of me.

I know that sunshine follows rain I know that pleasure follows pain

And I know that I must have you somehow

Every ship waits for the crue and every road waits for the dew

But I need you right now.

How can there be an end with no beginning

So run to me I'm waiting helplessly

And break these shackles of impatience make me live

For I must have you for the life of me...
