I am nothing without love I’m but a ship stuck in the sand Some would say that I’m all alone But I am nothing without love I wanna hold her in my arms But she feeling low she feeling sad I would take credit for what’s wrong But I am nothing without love Three years at sea after the storm On this sinking ship that love had put me on God I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home But I got nowhere to go Now here you show up with the force of a wave And so I'm setting my sail, I’m headed for the empire state Hey hey lord, I don’t want to lose this one, she make me feel whole You know, I am nothing without love Oh baby show me a sign Send up a signal, that everything’s fine Come on slide up right here by my side You know that I want to rest in your light I am nothing without love I’m just these thoughts without a pen And I would take credit for this song But I am nothing without love
