When I'm lost in a strange place   Scared and alone   When I'm wishing for home   That's when I think of you   When the load gets too heavy   Too much too bare   When I'm going no where there's no-one there   And I'm feeling like a fool      Chorus   That's when I think of you   It's all that I can do   I'd go mad if it wasn't for you      When I'm caught in the crossfire   Of wrongs making right   When I wake in the night   That's when I think of you   When I'm half way to heaven   And three parts in hell   And it's all just as well and I can't even tell   I'm lost without a clue      Chorus      If not for the thought of you   The promise of dreams come true   I'd go mad if it wasn't for you      When I'm lonely for loving   So far from home   When it feels like I'm in the Twilight Zone   And I just can't make it through      Chorus      If not for the thought of you   The promise of dreams come true   I'd go mad if it wasn't for you      Oh I'm always thinking of you   It's all that I can do   I'd go mad not being with you   If not for the thought of you   The promise of dreams come true   I'd go mad not being with you      By 1927
