It was a co-write, and is a song, that is very dear to my heart for that very reason!!
I hope you enjoy it!
Becky and Marc, I can't imagine my life with out the two of you in it! Thank you!!
Thank you to Shelagh Brown, for her beautiful vocals, and to Jay's Studio.
IF YOU WEREN'T THERE

Sitting at home in my living room,
Staring at my computer bout to email you
Ya I made it back, three hours late
Funny how things happen you can’t explain
Running into you that way
Never thought I’d be happy, for plane delays
Those hours in the lounge went by so fast
And our lives together came rushing back
CHORUS
IF YOU WEREN’T THERE I WOULDN’T BE HERE
NO MATTER THE TIME NO MATTER THE YEARS
EVERY ROAD BLOCK LIFE HAS THROWN MY WAY
YOU’VE ALWAYS FOUND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
LIKE SOMEBODIES BEEN LISTENING TO MY PRAYER
I WOULDN’T BE HERE IF YOU WEREN’T THERE
Two new kids in a new high school
That noone else was talking to
Man that year we sure had a blast
From that time until your wedding day
Nobody else could separat
The two of us, wish I could go back
When that job offer came from over seas
You were the one who said follow your dreams
CHORUS
(Bridge)
We saw tonight, even though life, sometimes gets in the way
That the more things change the more they stay exactly the same
