Jackson, Alan - Had It Not Been You Lyrics
The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
Or never taking a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
I wouldn't reach for your arms
When my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands
On a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
I'd get old for sure
Had it not been you
That I can't wait to pick up the phone
When you're callin'
And the three little voices
That always chime in right along
When we're talkin'
Oh I never would see through
eyes of truth
And my heart
would have overlooked
a view that some just talk of
and never find
In a lifetime
It's hard to describe
in just words how I feel
when I hold stand beside you
But I make it known
It's just time that I kill
When I'm alone and without you
I will love all through the night
If you love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I'll know I'm the only one around
For a lifetime
I'd never have taken in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you

Jackson, Alan Had It Not Been You Comments
Love him ❤️
Alan Jackson's voice control, to be so crystal clear yet that essence of rugged haggardness is the epitome of a country singer. One of the few to get real close to the Possum in that regard.
Legend. The legend.
Goes follow me
Just listen to that voice and the story he tells. How can you not listen with a connection to that? This is why country music alway comes back to it's roots of story telling and experience. I loved Allan Jackson from the start. Not a hard thing to do.
Is this a new song if it is when is the new album comeing out
So love this 🎶 🎶 🎶
HAD IT NOT BEEN YOU I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN COUNTRY MUSIC HONEST AND TRUE FOR THIS ALAN I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU!!!💖
So sweet
only!!! if yer still with her eh lol ;-) mun with the one!!! hurry up !! LOL
I will definitely be praying for you..in my own prayers I pray for me..
Allen...one of the all time greats. Thank you Allen for bringing back the "country" in country music!
This is what I called country at its best. Alan Jackson one of finest great singer of all time.
Alan Jackson has never disappointed in him music. This is real country music, the music on the radio is crap compared to him
Thank God for Alan Jackson! Now that's Country! This is the music I Love ! ❤💕
Ronda Dunno Amen to that..
That's a beautiful song about true love and family too. Love it.....it touches my ❤.
Wanna win a lady's heart ? Sing this song to her. Doesn't matter if you have a great voice or not.
Once again Alan Jackson comes through for us "traditional" Country music lovers! Beautiful.
Soooo beautiful!!!!
Seen him in a concert in Shreveport Louisiana for the first time and it was amazing... Glad I got to check that one off my bucket list... Because we don't get REAL COUNTRY MUSIC anymore on the radio.. so that is why I buy c.d. that way I can play what I want to...
Always excited when a new Alan song comes up! The new generation of country don’t know what they missed with this legend. So glad I grew up on this country!
agreed! It was way better growing up with Alan, Clay Walker, George Strait and Randy Travis than growing up on Jason Aldean. Lol
This song is over 10 years old! My friend Sidney Cox wrote this.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A voice that never fails to see us. The songs that he writes.....
Very Beautiful Love Song """ for his Beautiful wife Denise and his Daughters ""💘💘🎶🎶🎶
He must of not listened to this cut before he released it. His voice starts out sounding old and worn down...his first words are unintelligible because of the deepness of his voice. Used to love Alan Jackson's songs and music. Some times these celebrities just keep hanging in there thinking they still got it when in truth time and age take their toll. He's at that age where retirement should be a bigger option than just going on and on and destroying all that good juice you once had. Okay I'm open for public criticism for what I just wrote.....take your best shot....
James Smith
I think your mind is worn out not his voice
James Smith this song was on an album recorded over 13 years ago.
Time for country music to come back the lord is calling this world needs your music thank you soooo much god bless america god bless
2:10 - 2:45
I love that guitar!
Only 37 replies in three days Unreal!!!!
One of the best ever.... This new breed of so called country music I'm hearing today is pathetic for the most part, but I'm 50 and might just be old, or, I lack the wigger Gene. Good stuff 👍
AJ just keeps gettin better and better.
Hermosa voz desde Argentina
This is country. Unfortunately not what's heard on radio anymore.
yeah screw country radio. They're not going to play anything new by Alan just like they didn't play the latest singles by Clay Walker -and "Makes me Want to Stay" was freaking awesome. But they'll be overplaying that piece of garbage called Jason Aldean. That's how country radio is killing country music.
This is so inspiring 😎😍😙❤😘🎶🎧thanks v for always bringing smile on my face love you always doux😎😘
What have I been doing this song isn’t on my play list
I wouldn't want any other

Alan Jackson always delivers some quality music. We need a world with more Alan, George Strait, Clay Walker, Chris Stapleton and a lot less Jason Aldean and Kane Brown.
Music Planet we need another randy Travis to
@GO Hogs22 But Randy can't release music anymore 😕😓
@Federico Floris 😔❤️💚🇧🇷
@GO Hogs22 God bless Country Music 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼 God bless Randy Travis 🌹🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹
So true. I’m 14 and I hate new country. I don’t know what to do about it though. I can only imagine how bad it will keep getting. So many amazing artists are making REAL country, but it doesn’t get played on the radio.
OMG THANK YOU
The girls wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes

You know there are times
That I can't wait to pick up the phone
