In a simple life dreams die hard   You never let, let 'em go   All the while you play your cards   And you may never know   Why it's always lady luck   On someone elses' palm they read   Your holding my two empty hands   Is really all I need.      Chorus:   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 with out   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.      Chorus:   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.      --- Instrumental ---      Chorus:   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...
