Without love


With no one to love the heart cannot fly,

Tell me you love me,

And I will soar with the eagles.

With no one to love the heart cannot sing,

Tell me you love me,

And I will give you Nessun Dorma.

Without love life is a dull affair,

Humdrum and empty,

For where is the soft hand to hold,

The sweet lips to kiss and the waist to

Wrap a fond arm around?

Without love where is the beauty,

Where is the joy in an empty bed,

Where is the soul-mate so long in

The coming?

Tell me you love me.
