Title: If I Can’t Have You
Artist: Yvonne Elliman
Verse 1: I’ve been searching high and low For a love that makes me whole But every time I find someone I end up feeling all alone
Pre-Chorus: I’ve tried to fill the void inside With empty promises and lies But nothing seems to satisfy This longing deep inside
Chorus: If I can’t have you I don’t know what I’ll do My heart is calling out your name But you’re so far away
Verse 2: I’ve traveled to the ends of the earth Just to find my heart’s true worth But no matter where I go I can’t escape this love I know
Pre-Chorus: I’ve tried to let you go, it’s true But I keep coming back to you My soul is yearning for your touch I miss you oh so much
Chorus: If I can’t have you I don’t know what I’ll do My heart is calling out your name But you’re so far away
Bridge: I’ve tried to move on, move past But my love for you will always last I can’t deny this burning fire That’s fueled by my desire
Chorus: If I can’t have you I don’t know what I’ll do My heart is calling out your name But you’re so far away
Outro: So I’ll keep searching, come what may Hoping to find you again someday For now, I’ll hold onto the memories And dream of the day when we’ll be free
