I WON’T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU       

Music and Lyrics by: Paul Williams and Roger Nichols
This song was sent to me by its writers, Roger Nichols and Paul Williams.  I liked it immediately and it became the last single culled from A Song For You.  A lot of thought went into its being released though, as almost two years had passed since the album’s release, and four singles from the album had preceded it.  We were still, however, getting a lot of requests from the public and programmers alike to release it, which we did in early ’74.
