Fred played us a version of this song that Bekka Bramlett had recorded once that knocked my friggin' socks off. She never released it though....thanks Bekka. :)

lyrics

Who is this woman standing before me - I know that face I see in the glass
She looks familiar but so very strange
I knew her long ago – a lonely soul with an aching heart
But now she’s back again – ever since we’ve been apart

It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you

My eyes keep searching for somebody else
My lips are moving but I cannot hear
My arms are reaching but no one is there
There’s only emptiness – a tenderness I cannot hold
Here comes the storm and then an evil wind – an icy cold

It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you

So sure of who I am – I’d stand and fall and rise again
But I’m not who I used to be – it doesn’t take a fool to see

It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you

Right here and now all on my own – am I strong enough to carry on
This hurricane I can’t control, it’s a cold hard wind blowing through my soul
And I think I’m entitled to an explanation to try to heal this separation
I put my pride up on the shelf cuz I’m just not me with anyone else

It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you

I yearn to fill this empty space – to feel your touch, to see your face
To hear your beating heart again – your tender kiss, it’s you I miss
What did I not do, what did I say – to make you turn and run away
Turn back the clock to how it was – just because, just because

It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
It’s true – so true - It’s not me without you
