Without You
Air Supply Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in you eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
Can't live, if living is without you
Can't give, I can't give any more
No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in you eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
Can't live, if living is without you
Can't give, I can't give any more
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

No I can't forget this evening
I cannot erase the memory of this particular night
Or your face as you were leaving
Nor can I forget the face you had when you left
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
Despite how I feel, perhaps this is simply how things were meant to end
You always smile but in you eyes your sorrow shows
Although you may have smiled in that moment, I could still see the sorrow in your eyes
Yes it shows
That sorrow was apparent, and impossible to ignore
No I can't forget tomorrow
I cannot forget the imminent future, and what it might hold
When I think of all my sorrows
My mind dwells on my own troubles and misfortunes
When I had you there but then I let you go
I had the privilege of having you by my side, but ultimately pushed you away
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
It is only right that I convey a message to you
What you should know
You should be aware of this, whatever it may be
I can't live, if living is without you
I cannot continue to exist if you are not part of my life
I can't give, I can't give any more
I cannot give any more of myself without your presence
Can't live, if living is without you
My life cannot continue without you in it
Can't give, I can't give any more
I have nothing left to offer without you by my side
I can't live, if living is without you
My life cannot continue without you in it
I can't give, I can't give any more
I have nothing left to offer without you by my side
I can't live, if living is without you
My life cannot continue without you in it
I can't give, I can't give any more
I have nothing left to offer without you by my side

I always hear this song like every Sundays in our radio speaker, my Dad always listening to this classic songs and others like Tom Jones' song and different kinds of classical music, he had a multiple organ failure since last December 2019, and he keeps listening to this kind of songs while he is fighting his life.
For me the songs kinda old to listen because of our new generation music styles, and i always keep asking my Dad that "Why does he like classical music soooooooo much", and he keeps telling me that " life is short but memories are forever", That line has been glued all over my stupid brain.
Since that conversation, my Dad passed away in front of me, and it was so frustrating and depressing, until i remember my dad's memories, a fun memories, listening his favorite music, having some conversation about politics, and assisting him if he doesn't have the strength to do some things, and yes, this day I've seen this song on my recommendations and i played it, it feels very nostalgic and very sad when I'm listening to this song, it's like having a butterflies in my stomach.
And my dad's right, "Life is short but memories are forever" and I'm always keeping that on my mind
It's just so sad that i didn't have the chance to hug and say I've love my dad for the last time, and yes, it's sad but life needs to keep going.
Sorry I'm bad at typing proper English grammar 😓

No I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
No no no no I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
