I awakened this morning I was filled with despair All my dreams turned to ashes And gone As I looked at my life It was [bent] and bad Nothing at all Nothing at all Once I had a sweetheart That loved only me There was nothing That she would not give I was blind to her goodness And I could not see That a life without love Cannot live Without love I had nothing Without love I had nothing Nothing at all Yes I have conquered the world But what, what did I have Without love I had nothing Nothing at all Nothing at all
