Without Her

About Without Her

"Without Her" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released on his 1967 album Pandemonium Shadow Show. The song, a Baroque pop single, is played with cello and a countermelody performed on a flute, based on only about a half of dozen chords. One of Nilsson's first hits (although a minor one), it explains the sadness and melancholy of spending a day without the loved one, when the person has gone from you. Despite the melancholic theme, the song is described as a joyous song, too. The song was covered by singer Glen Campbell and American band Blood, Sweat & Tears. Brazilian Bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto and Scottish singer Lulu covered the song as "Without Him". Lulu's version was the B-side of her 1968 single 'I'm A Tiger'. In Spanish they were recorded by the Mexican singer José José and is included in his first 1969 album "CUIDADO" in a Bossa Nova version. more »

I spend the night in a chair
Thinking' she'll be there
But she never comes
And I wake up and wipe
The sleep from my eyes
And I rise, to spend another day
Without her
It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door
Of an empty room
You go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun
When you have to spend the day without her

We burst the pretty balloon
Took us to the moon
Such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die,
Than be without her
Love is a beautiful thing
When it knows how to swing
And it grooves like a clock
But the hands on the clock
Tell the lovers to the part
And it's breakin' my heart
To spend another day without her

I'll spend the night in a chair
Thinking she'll be there
But she'll never come
And I'll wake up and wipe
The sleep from my eyes
And I'll rise and spend the day without her
Can't go on without her
There's no song without her
Can't go on without her.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat & Tears (also known as "BS&T") is an American music group, originally formed in 1967 in New York City.

Unlike "jazz fusion" bands, which tend toward virtuostic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, the songs of Blood, Sweat & Tears merged the stylings of rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band, while also adding elements of 20th Century Classical and sma… more »
