If Not For You

If not for you I would know nothing of
This balcony, this panorama love.
The world would seem a dreary thing
Four walls without a window
A room without a view
If not for you.

Like sunlight pouring through the sorry rain
You made me see the colors I contain.
You held me to the light of love
As if I were a diamond.
I would be merely blue
If not for you.

The moon would rise, the stars would shine
Just like they always do
But not for me, not for me
If not for you.
