If Not For You

If anything I am or hope to be
 If any compliments are paid to me
 If any praises I receive for anything that I achieve
 I'll know they rightfully belong to you
 For when I wonder you convinced me that I could
 Knowing you depended on me proved I should
 And in your mind you never doubted that I would
 But what would I do (what would I do) if not for you
 I see admiration in your eyes
 And I believe you think I hung the moon
 And if I fail like other men or find the will and try again
 But anything I am begins with you
 For when I wonder you convinced me that I could
 Knowing you depended on me proved I should
 And in your mind you never doubted that I would
 Oh but what would I do (what would I do) if not for you
 What would I do (what would I do) if not for you
