(To live for today
and to love for tomorrow
is the wisdom of a fool
Because tomorrow is promised to noone
You see love is that wonderful thing
that the whole world needs plenty of
If you think for one minute
that you can live without it
Then you are only fooling yourself
Listen, please
I like to tell you something
that happened to me just the other day)

I awakened this morning
I was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes
and now they are gone
And I looked at my life
it was barren and so bare
Without love I had nothing at all

Without love I had nothing
Without love I had nothing at all
I had conquered the world
But what then did I have?
Without love I had nothing at all

I once had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing that she would not give
I was blind to her goodness
and I just could not see
That a heart without love cannot live

Without love I had nothing
Without love I had nothing at all
I had conquered the world
But what then did I have?
Without love I had nothing at all

Without love I had nothing at all
