Notes
Yearwood's version, which utilized a more throaty, country-western vibe, appeared in the film. When Rimes's record label, Curb Records, heard of the release, they were reluctant to release her version until Warren called label founder Mike Curb and urged him to release the recording as a single; her version was then quickly released to mainstream pop radio on the same day as Yearwood's rendition. Neither version of the song was included on the soundtrack album for the film (which consists of the score by Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina). Yearwood's version reached number two on the U.S. country singles chart and was internationally successful. It appeared on her first compilation album (Songbook) A Collection of Hits (1997). The album certified quadruple-platinum in the United States.
How do I get through one night without you? If I had to live without you What kind of life would that be? Oh now, I need you in my arms, need you to hold You're my world, my heart, my soul If you ever leave Baby, you would take away everything good in my life Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky There would be no love in my life There'd be no world left for me And I, baby, I don't know what I would do I'd be lost if I lost you If you ever leave Baby, you would take away everything real in my life And tell me now How do I live without you? I want to know How do I breathe without you? If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive? How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live? If you ever leave Baby, you would take away everything I need you with me Baby, 'cause you know that you're everything good in my life And tell me now How do I live without you? I want to know How do I breathe without you? If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive? How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live? How do I live without you, baby
