Eddy Arnold - But for Love lyrics

(Terry Cashman - Gene Pistilli - T.P. West) So it's rainin' again And the wind's up in a roar I've been swept through the streets To be washed up at your door. But you're with him I know So I'll crawl back later on Why do I need you so But for love I'd be gone. With my back to the wind I'm wondering what it is about you That makes it so hard to stay And harder yet to live without you. So I'll look all around But there's nothing's here for me Like a prisoner I'm bound But for you I'd be free. But for you I'd be gone on a jet Leavin' today for a place in the sun far away. But the rain still comes down And the chilly winds keep blowing Down these cold empty streets I'm wondering what keeps me going. So I say to myself Why do you linger on And my heart cries to me But for love I'd be gone. But for love I'd be gone...
