To live for today and to love for tomorrow Is the wisdom of a fool Because tomorrow is promised to no one You see love is that wonderful thing that the whole wide world needs plenty of And if you think for one minute that you can live without it Then you are only fooling yourself Listen please I'd 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 bare Without love I've had nothing nothing at all Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing nothing at all I have conquered the world All but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing nothing at all Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me There was nothing, that she would not give, oh no But I was blind to her goodness and I just could not see That a heart without love cannot live Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing nothing at all I have conquered the world but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing nothing at all Without love I've had nothing nothing at all
