I awakened this morning; I was filled with despair All my dreams turned to ashes and gone, oh, yeah As I looked at my life, it was barren and bare Without love I've had nothing at all Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing at all I have conquered the world All but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing at all Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me There was nothing, oh, that she would not give, oh, no But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see That a heart without love cannot live Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing at all I have conquered the world All but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing at all
