Without Love (There Is Nothing)

Ray Charles · Ray Charles: The Definitive Anthology - Trilogy [2009]

I awakened, whoa this morning

And I was filled with despair

All my dreams, turned to ashes and gall

And as I looked back on my life

It was barren and bare



And without love I have nothing

I have nothing at all



Once I had, whoa, a sweetheart

Who loved only me

There was nothing that she would not give

But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see

That a heart without love cannot live



Whoa, without love I have nothing

Whoa, without love, friends I have nothing at all

Ohh, I have conquered, yeah the world

Ohh , tell me what did I have?

Without love, ohh, I have nothing now at all
