I Just Can’t Be Me (Without You)

Early in the morning up before the sun
One more cup of coffee before this daylight comes
Out of my kitchen window the stars are shining down
Guess that it’s about time for me to head into town
Seems every day’s a Monday the older that I get
And I leave you sleeping don’t have the heart to wake you yet
And as I reach for those old car keys that take me away from you
I always get those wish I didn’t have to be leaving blues

I just can’t be me without you
Your love makes the sun come shining through
You always seem to take away my blues
I just can’t be me without you

As these car wheels roll on the sunrise says hello
And I keep getting further from you the longer that I go
And when I reach my destination for another working day
You’re always on my mind well I guess it’s just that way
Maybe it’s your laughter maybe it’s your smile
Maybe it’s my love for you that never goes out of style
Ain’t no doctor around these parts can help me out of this
It’s been so many years that started with a kiss

(chorus)

After the day is over and the sun is going down
When I hear that whistle blow I’ll be leaving town
And make my way through the traffic just to head on back to you
Your love’s like an addiction I need my fix when the day is through
And when I walk through that doorway you’re always waiting there for me
And I’m grateful that you let me be who I want to be
Come tomorrow I know the whole thing will just start again
But since I’m with you now I’ll worry about that then

(chorus)
