Without Love (There Is Nothing)

 "Without Love (There Is Nothing)" is another song that just makes me want to cry, like "Since I Fell for You". I don't know why but I just seem to have quite a few songs that can do that to me. I guess with this song it actually makes me stop and think that I shouldn't be sou busy and maybe a little closed and to love before it's too late. Anyway, "Without Love (There Is Nothing) was written by Danny Small and recorded by Clyde McPhatter, an original member of The Drifters, in 1957. It peaked at #6 on the R&B Best Seller Chart and # 19 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

WITHOUT LOVE (THERE IS NOTHING)

 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 barren and bare

 Without love I have nothing at all.

 Without love I have nothing

 Without love I have nothing at all

 I have conquered the world

All but one thing did I have

 Without love I have 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 blinded by her goodness and I could not see

 That a heart without love could not live

 Without love there is nothing

Without love there is nothing at all

Yes, I conquered the world

All but one thing did I have

 Without love I have nothing at all.

I thought I'd also include Elvis Presley's rendition of "Without Love ( There is Nothing):
