What Good Am I Without You? 1930 JPitt-Payne

Happy together
you and I
we made our lives a song,
letting bad weather
pass right by
the world just rolled along.
But things are diff'rent
now that you are gone
all by myself
I simply can't go on.

What good are days
without sunshine?
You made the skies above blue!
Now that you're gone
days are dreary
what good am I without you?
What good are nights
without love dreams?
you made my dreaming come true!
now that you're gone
nights are empty
what good am I without you?
If I can't have you there
with me to share
each joy and care,
what good are birds that sing
the flowers in Spring
or what darn good is anything?
Your love could
make me be something,
A million things I could do!
But all alone
I'm just nothing
what good am I without you?

What good are days
without sunshine?
You made the skies above blue!
Now that you're gone
days are dreary
what good am I without you?
What good are nights
without love dreams?
you made my dreaming come true!
now that you're gone
nights are empty
what good am I without you?
If I can't have you there
with me to share
each joy and care,
what good are birds that sing
the flowers in Spring
or what darn good is anything?
Your love could
make me be something,
A million things I could do!
But all alone
I'm just nothing
what good am I without you?

Happy the days
when you and I
spoke of our wedding day.
Dreamed of a love
that ne'er would die,
a love to last always.
The days are lonely now
without you, dear,
the nights are endless now
that you're not here.

What good are days
without sunshine?
You made the skies above blue!
Now that you're gone
days are dreary
what good am I without you?
What good are nights
without love dreams?
you made my dreaming come true!
now that you're gone
nights are empty
what good am I without you?
If I can't have you there
with me to share
each joy and care,
what good are birds that sing
the flowers in Spring
or what darn good is anything?
Your love could
make me be something,
A million things I could do!
But all alone
I'm just nothing
what good am I without you?

What good are days
without sunshine?
You made the skies above blue!
Now that you're gone
days are dreary
what good am I without you?
What good are nights
without love dreams?
you made my dreaming come true!
now that you're gone
nights are empty
what good am I without you?
If I can't have you there
with me to share
each joy and care,
what good are birds that sing
the flowers in Spring
or what darn good is anything?
Your love could
make me be something,
A million things I could do!
But all alone
I'm just nothing
what good am I without you?
