If I Didn't Have You to Wake Up To

What would I do if I didn't have you
To wake up to each day?
Who'd take my troubles and put them in bubbles
And make them burst away?
And where would I find the innocence
That tells me it's okay
If I didn't have you to wake up to each day?

Your father's going to be a little bit jealous
When the boys come around to call
And when you don't come home on time
He'll be pacing up and down the hall
But that's just a part of growing up
What could I do anyway
If I didn't have you to wake up to each day?

Should I be strict, should I be mean?
Should I teach you discipline?
The times say yes, but I say no
You'll learn it from within
I know that every mother thinks her child
Is the prettiest one
But you've got a smile that can't be refused
It even brightens up the sun

I wish I could make time stand still
And just keep lookin' at you
But that's something even old Methuselah wasn't able to do
I hope you come around to see me
When I'm feeble, old and gray
Oh, what would I do
If I didn't have you to wake up to each day?
Oh, what would I do
If I didn't have you to wake up to each day?
