Without Her
Neil Diamond · Other Songs - Neil Diamond
Thinking she'll be there but she never comes
And then I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day without her
Do do do, do do do do, do do do
It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door of an empty room
And then you go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun when you spend a day without her
Do do do, do do do do, do do do
We burst the pretty balloon
Took us to the moon, it's such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die than live without her
Do do do, do do do do, do do do
Love is a beautiful thing
When it knows how to swing and it moves like a clock
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
And it's breaking my heart to have to spend a day without her
Do do do, do do do do, do do do
I spend the night in the chair
Thinking she'll be there but she never comes
And then I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day without her
Do do do, do do do do
Can't go on without her
Do do do, do do do do
There's no song without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on without her
