Without you

Martin Healy 1956 (Chicago)

You'll never know how much you did for me
You made me the man I could never have been

Without you

You gave me so much I didn’t have
You showed me how much class I never knew I had

Without you

I’m trying to be the man you made me
I will somehow find a way to continue
to be the man you helped me to be
the man you always said you loved

Without you
