Ahmad Jamal Lyrics
"Without You"

I remember the time
Before you were mine
And I was dying to be with you
Now you've gone away
And I'm in this place
But your memory hasn't moved
The shadow you cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife?

[Chorus]
I can't walk away
But how can I stay?
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life without you.

You weren't a saint
So what are these chains
You hold on both of us
You give it your best
But you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough
To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit.

[Chorus: x2]

In his shoes
In his shoes
