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

Without love I've had nothing
Without love I had nothing, nothing at all
I have conquered the world, but one thing did I have
Without love I had nothing, nothing at all

I once had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing, that she would not give, no, no
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 had nothing, nothing at all
I have conquered the world, but one thing did I have
Without love I had nothing, nothing at all
Without love I had nothing, nothing at all
