I Can Get By

In a simple life dreams die hard

You never let 'em go

All the while you play your hands

And you may never know

Why it's always lady luck

On someone else's palm they read

You holding my two hands

Is really all I need

I can get by if it all fell through

Right down to the bottom of my list

I can get by lookin' back on life

Find that I've too many things I've missed

I can get by without doing

All the crazy things some people do

But I wouldn't want to try even

Barely gettin' by without you

Many things I've come to need

That I could do without

And many more I've done without

I could come to need

The one thing that I'd fight to keep

Until my days are through

Is when I lay me down to sleep

I'm lyin' next to you

I can get by if it all fell through

Right down to the bottom of my list

I can get by lookin' back on life

Find that I've too many things I've missed

I can get by without doing

All the crazy things some people do

But I wouldn't want to try even

Barely gettin' by without you

I can get by if it all fell through

Right down to the bottom of my list

I can get by lookin' back on life

Finding I've too many things I've missed

Barely gettin' by without you

I can get by if it all fell through

Right down to the bottom of my list

I can get by lookin' back on life

Find that I've too many things I've missed

I can get by without doing

All the crazy things some people do

But I wouldn't want to try even

Barely gettin' by without you
