The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Living Without You

I can hear that old clock ticking, passing time up on the wall

I can hear the faucet dripin in the kitchen down the hall

I just sit here wishin' there was something I could say

To the one that I keep missing every night and every day

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I ever do

But I'll never get used to living without you

Now I got used to tenderness, we would hold each other tight

And I got used to happiness we'd make love day and night

And I'll get used to mornings eating breakfast all alone

Sitting in the evenings when there's no one else at home

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I ever do

But I'll never get used to living without you

Without you, the sun still rises, without you, the rivers run

I thought by now that I'd be realizing what's done is done

I accept the notion that theres things we can't control

Like the changing of the seasons or the fact we're growing old

I know I'm the reason that you had to go away

I will keep believing that's the price we had to pay

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I ever do

But I'll never get used to living without you

Oh there's things you learn to live with now that's all I ever do

But I'll never get used to living without you

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I ever do

But I'll never get used to living without you
