Harrison, George - If Not For You Lyrics






If not for you
Babe, I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue, if not for you

If not for you
Babe, the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
It would not be new, if not for you

If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost, if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you

If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost, if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you

If not for you

Harrison, George If Not For You Comments
  1. R.... C....

    Dear "udave": Hell yes -- I'm still listening to the forever brilliant George Harrison! This most talented of Beatles took off in the 1970s with a series of smooth, harmonic, love-filled tunes of bliss, hope, joy, & esprit de la vida! George needed his own space; we've responded with cheers. The guy just plain HAD IT! I'm so glad I lived in the 1970s so I could swim in his pool of creativity. Love this tune! * Cav; 3 Jan., 2020. *

  2. d.... s....

    Bob dylan composes and even sing the songs but somebody will sing and it is popular or hit.

    I am thinking of George Harrison today. This Bob Dylan song came from a period when the two artists were interacting a lot. With the recent breakup of The Beatles this connection must have come at just the right time for George. The seeds were sown for The Traveling Wilburys.

    COVER VERSION OF THE DAY

  7. K.... ....

    George was such a gentle soul...beautiful voice ..beautiful man. Miss ya George ..so bad !

    One of George's forgotten classics. A beautiful song but my favorite Beatle.

  9. A.... A....

    Olivia Newton John also did a great cover of this smash hit song.

  11. B.... M....

    STILL LISTENING . MY HANDS ARE UP. LETS KEEP IT ALIVE, HEH?

  12. A.... m....

    George was my fav beatle. Even though Dylan wrote this song, I feel like George nailed it. And that it really shows the innocence of George. I hope he found what he was looking for. Rest in peace sir Harrison.

  13. T.... P....

    God bless George...I'm sure he had no idea how many people he made happy.

  14. I.... ....

    Beautiful music.

  25. D.... O....

    Made it his own
    Beautiful
    Dear George
    You deserved a better future
    A long one
    Oh olden age
    Wise and wizened
    Full of tales to tell
    But
    Cut off to fast
    You should be here now
    Singing lullabies to your grand children
    If not 4 you
    There wouldn't be The Beatles
    Your GUITAR was the heart of it all
    BLESS UP HARRISON
    BLESS UP

  26. B.... c....

    Bob Dylan wrote this but George unequivocally owned it!

  27. U.... ....

    Olivia Newton-John has a beautiful cover of this song.

  28. r.... t....

    George was a beautiful soul, what rock and rollers ever sing spiritual songs...thanks GH! you're thought of a lot.

  29. P.... ....

    it's crimson and clover!

  30. F.... P....

    LOVE YOU

  31. S.... A....

    Sadly missed, but not forgotten. If not for you... George, where would we be? We'd be "Nowhere Man" ☮️💙

  32. J.... Y....

    The Quiet one always kept Our Lord First that's what made for me the best Beatle And this beautiful song and his all things must past album the greatest of all time

  33. J.... P....

    Legendary! Epic! Spiritual! Great Song! George Harrison the humble one's version I enjoy best! That harmonica and sliding guitar! Thanks for writing it Bob Dylan! Both you, Rest & play heavenly tunes wherever you're at. I am trying to make the beginning of this tune, my ringtone. By the way...p.s...... I discovered this song last saturday haha. My current favorite band touring and with one album out working on their 2nd is Greta Van Fleet! They speak highly of musicians/artists whom they grew up listening to & learning from. The Beatles and the members as they broke up, Bob Dylan, John Denver,PeterPaul&Mary,Ottis Redding,Albert King, many folk & blues genres! Check it out my FRIENDS!

  34. M.... J....

    Good lp, way too long though.

  35. A.... D....

    If not for you
    Babe, I couldn't even find the door
    I couldn't even see the floor

  36. N.... M....

    I've always been hung about George's rendition of this song and Olivia Newton-John's version. But that's the beauty of 1970's rock.

  37. B.... S....

    Another song my mom absolutely loved -- happy memories riding around with her on sunny days in the early/mid 70's, when I was too young to yet grasp how complicated and often cold the world is.

  38. D.... S....

    This song was played over the wedding Scenes of the movie "The Art of Racing in the Rain"...… I had forgotten what a great song it is!

  39. V.... G....

    bom demais

  40. R.... C....

    So smooth & harmonious!  This is why we love George so much.  Just a natural tunesmith.  Wonderfully composed & performed.  Perfectly elicits a guy's thirst for a lady.  We are lost without the ladies -- simple as that.  George says it so well.  We miss this gifted Beatle!  * Cav *

  41. R.... C....

    I dedicate this song to my Bassethound BUSTER FRED. My best friend ever for 15 years. RIP BIG FELLA, your dad loves and misses you buddy.

  42. 7.... ....

    The Beatles all complimented one another. I look at George and think of the glue that kept everyone in check. His Indian music was less than spectacular but he matured and wrote beautiful music later.

  43. L.... J....

    George was just a one of a kind,his music has the best vibe!

  44. N.... O....

    Essa musica e linda demais

  45. u.... ....

    Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2019

    u.... ....

    I was - but now I'm going to bed

    u.... ....

    People these days don’t understand a love for music like this.

    u.... ....

    Merry Christmas.
    Sia LODATO GESU CRISTO!!!

    u.... ....

    Peace Love and Merry Christmas Day 2019 udave. <3

    u.... ....

    2020 baby 😎🤚

  46. K.... C....

    Love this.on ya George.

  47. R.... C....

    Love this!  George sings it as true inspiration men have towards women!  Give 'ol Bob Dylan a credit for the tune as well.  George played the '70s with terrific skill & style!  * Cav *

  48. J.... K....

    To those 257 people that are having a hard time. Things will get better

  49. s.... ....

    How many love songs are really about our loving relationship with god and his love for us?
    this way and that, here and there, in and out, God permeates

  50. K.... A....

    If not 4 u...I would be lost!!!..Nothing would matter if not 4 u!!!!😥😣😚

  51. L.... D....

    I'M LOST WITHOUT YOU LAURA

  52. L.... B....

    Really good version of this song. I love George but still like Olivia Newton John's version better. She has a bit better vocals

  53. L.... M....

    Love this tune! Thank-You, Mr. Zimmerman!

    Mr. George Harrison, GOD BLESS YOU! LOVE YOU,
    ALWAYS!

  54. d.... ....

    単音のギターがそんなに嫌なの?

  55. d.... ....

    このスライドもクラプトン!もはやあんたはギタリストじゃないよ!なんなの?

  56. P.... d....

    It really is ironic, Alanis.

  57. P.... d....

    You're listening to the Taos Hum. Do we have any callers tonight? I hope not.

  58. P.... d....

    RIP, George.

  59. S.... L....

  60. M.... C....

    Great song

  61. J.... Y....

    Harrison was the best Beatle in63 he new the Beatles would break up when times got tougher for them George was the glue that kept them together I remember in one of the Beatle movies he told Ringo don't let peaple fill your head with notions you maybe off Gods Green Earth but your Spirit lives God Bless u quite one

  62. K.... C....

    A practical realistic man.so so talented.so good.

  63. C.... a....

    I love this so much, it is on my mother's playlist for her funeral. So beautiful!

  64. N.... ....

    George appears a great deal in Netflix new release, ' John and Yoko: Only the Sky Above.' It is something like that. I saw it yesterday and was thrilled and saddened. George and John's music and sad sad deaths still break me up. Watch it because it is fabx2.

  65. R.... S....

    Olivia Newton John also covered this song. It became a top ten hit

  66. R.... S....

    I love George. He will always be loved. May he r.i.p.

  67. N.... F....

    Versão de George Harrison é superior a versão de Dylan,por incrível que pareça....a música parece a cara dele......

  68. C.... V....

    If Not for CV

  69. K.... M....

    I'm kinda tossing up between these two versions.

  70. P.... G....

    That slide guitar!! Lovely

  71. S.... J....

    George Harrison lives

  72. J.... G....

    One of the best singers of everytime!

  73. i.... l....

    my favorite version!

  74. C.... S....

    💋♥️💋♥️💋

  75. S.... M....

    George was so good. As a Beatle, he played a secondary. role for awhile. When he began to compose and sing his songs, he began to emerge as a serious artist. And then look what he produced. Nice tribute song to my wonderful friend, Mr Smokey Robinson.

  76. M.... S....

    This song is magical... Makes me remember the past and at the same time think of the future..

  77. C.... K....

    Read" The love you make " the best book about the Beatles ever written. The sources that make the book are all legit and mostly well known by name.From the Cavern Club, and the volatile clubs in Germany,to the world, it profiles each member from their birth to the end of the group.A must read for any Beatles fan.

  78. R.... Z....

    George Harrison is an amazing singer and my favorite Beatle we will miss you.

  79. J.... S....

    💋💖

  80. C.... D....

    Oh George...I sure do miss you...

  81. M.... ....

    An amazing woman sent me this song. Her name is Alicia. She is the kindest, gentlest, most beautiful soul I ever met. I did not know that people like her even exist. The funny thing is that this song is kind of how I feel about her. I've had a rough life. I almost died a couple times. I've been so depressed that I couldn't leave the house. I tried to kill myself. I thought that I would never find someone to love and that I would be alone forever. I felt unlovable. But then I made a few good choices by chance. Something guided me into her presence.

    I just want to tell the people out there that feel hopeless, that you just need to make it one more day. It's a cliche, but it's true. You need to have hope that one day soon your life will change. Because without hope I wouldn't be here and I would never have met her. I'm telling you that love is real and anything you feel right now that would suggest otherwise is just your head messing with you. Trust me. I've been on both sides of the fence. Your day will come soon. I promise. Just hang in there and have hope. Happiness is just around the corner.

    M.... ....

    Murphmaster God bless you and your Alicia. xox Stef

    Some of my fave songs that were etched in far back in my mind from my 70's youth I later found out were George Harrison songs. Thanks you tube for spanning to the past. I swear I could remember music from the days before I walked, sounds possible if it has a psychological soothing connection.

  83. M.... A....

    Let’s face it...

  84. m.... ....

    Not a Beatles fan, but I've always appreciated George Harrison's solo stuff a lot

  85. N.... M....

    I'm a person of the 60's, very familiar with the Beatles songs.  But this is the first time I've heard several of  George Harrison's music. Thanks newsuploader 3000  Hurray for You Tube!

  86. D.... R....

    Jim Gordon was one of the drummers on this album. Any song, from any artist that he touched, was a hit! You'd be surprised if you researched him.

  87. V.... M....

    Canção de composição do Bob Dylan.

  88. A.... R....

    This song reminds me of being young and in love, and I’m afraid I’ve lost that feeling for good...

  89. m.... ....

    my mom used to sing this - QEPD

  90. L.... G....

    I still have this album in my collection

  91. C.... O....

    His vocal is tailor made for this song!

  92. l.... ....

    Bob Dylan wrote this I believe.
