LYRICS
Up here on my own, and I’m humbled to see
A sea of faces looking out for me
And I’m so grateful for the power to entertain.
To sing to you my sorrows and my pain
I want you to know I take nothing for granted
I want you to know if we ever parted
I’d be where I started with nothing
without you this is nothing.
Without you this is...
...nothing more than a man on a stage on his own
Just a castaway filling up his time skimming stones
I hope you know that it’s you that makes it such a joy
and how I love to play but
I want you to know I take nothing for granted
I want you to know if we ever parted
I’d be where I started
with nothing
Without you this is nothing
Without you this is nothing
You are a part of the song
You are a part of the song
You are a part of the song
You are a part of the song
Cos without you this is nothing.
