Recorded by Eddy Arnold
Written by Eddy Arnold, Owen Bradley, Vic McAlpin
This song was Arnold's first number one on the country chart
in the US, spending one week at the top and a total of
twenty-two weeks on the chart. A SMASH 1947 hit!
Played in F chord (no capo) here to match the youtube video.
I usually transpose it to C to sing along with, plus that
gets rid of that pesky, Bb chord which is hard for my
arthritic hands to make sound just right. Your choice.
V#1
F What is life without love Bb What is love without you C7 F Why dream if they never come true
Why try to go on
Bb When your only hopes are gone C7 F Darling what is life without love
Instrumental (a full verse)
V#2
Somehow I can't forget
Bb The first day that we met C7 F You were something from heaven above
Now I'm asking you sweetheart
Bb And it's straight from my heart C7 F Darling what is life without love
Instrumental (a full verse)
V#3
All alone how I yearn
Bb That someday you'll return C7 F And be true as the stars up above
If you'll only say you'll try
Bb Then I'll be satisfied C7 F Darling what is life without love
(Instrumental)
V#4 (*A repeat of V#1 as below)
F What is life without love Bb What is love without you C7 F Why dream if they never come true
Why try to go on
Bb When your only hopes are gone C7 F Darling what is life without love
End.
