Without Love (There Is Nothing) Clyde McPhatter. #4 R& and #19 BB Hot 100 on ATLANTIC Records in 1957. #1. I awakened this morning..I was filled with despair. All my dreams turned to ashes and gone. As I looked at my life, it was barren and bare. Without love, I had nothing at all. Without love, I had nothing.. without love, I had nothing at all. I have conquered the world, all but one thing did I have. Without love, I had nothing at all. #2. Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me. There was nothing, that she would not give. But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see.. that a heart without love cannot live. Without love, I had nothing.. without love, I had nothing at all. I have conquered the world, all but one thing did I have. Without love, I had nothing at all. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
