"I Won't Last a Day Without You" was the result of another wonderful collaboration with Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and it was their third hit following "Rainy Days and Mondays." While it appeared on the album, A Song For You, The Carpenters released it as a single two years later, in 1974.

This song always reminds me how important it is to have those special family and friends in my own life that always support me, and I know I won't last a day without them. Who are those special people in your life?

When putting together this video, I wanted to capture the concept of a day, since that's so prominent in the song, so I gathered my own footage of morning, afternoon, and evening ocean views from my town. I hope you enjoy my very first lyric music video!

Lyrics

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near, my love

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I've found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Won't last a day without you, without you
