I'm the keeper of your heart
I keep the flame when we're apart
I'm the lover in your arms
Or a baby soft and warm
I'm a hero in your eyes
I'm a comfort when you cry
When you hurt me i'm your fool
But i'm nothin' without you
(chorus)
No i'm nothin' without you
It don't matter what i do
If i win or if i lose
Sweetheart i'm nothin' without you
I'm a beacon in the night
To show the way until it's light
I'm a stumbler in the dark
When i can't say what's in my heart
I'm a poet just the same
Every time i speak your name
I'm just a shadow when i'm blue
But i'm nothin' without you
(chorus)
