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
