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

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

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
