In a simple life dreams die hard   You never let'em go   All the while you play your hands   And you may never know   Why it's always lady luck   On someone else's palm they read   You holding my two hands   Is really all I need      I can get by if it all fell through   Right down to the bottom of my list   I can get by lookin' back on life   Find that I've too many things I've missed   I can get by without doing   All the crazy things some people do   But I wouldn't wanna try even   Barely gettin' by without you      Many things I've come to need   That I could do without   And many more I've done without   I could come to need   The one thing that I'd fight to keep   Until my days are through   Is when I lay me down to sleep   I'm lyin' next to you      I can get by if it all fell through   Right down to the bottom of my list   I can get by lookin' back on life   Find that I've too many things I've missed   I can get by without doing   All the crazy things some people do   But I wouldn't wanna try even   Barely gettin' by without you      I can get by if it all fell through   Right down to the bottom of my list   I can get by lookin' back on life   Finding I've too many things I've missed   Barely gettin' by without you      I can get by if it all fell through   Right down to the bottom of my list   I can get by lookin' back on life   Find that I've too many things I've missed   I can get by without doing   All the crazy things some people do   But I wouldn't wanna try even   Barely gettin' by without you
