Without
For once in my lonely life, I'd like to feel the joy
That everyone but me, plays with like a toy
For once in my lonely life, I'd like to feel the pain
When love has found my heart, like a heavy stormy rain

Before my days are done, I'd like to live my life
And feel not the pains of life, that cuts me like a knife
Throughout my lonesome life, I've never found a way
To be like others...gay, in a happy joyous way

To feel this day won't come, is an awful feeling yes
To know this day won't come, is worst than Hades' bless
To hope this day will come, is a wish that can't come true
But when it's said and done, it's all I've got to hold on to

I thought this once was wrong, but now I doubt it's false
Once I thought I felt myself, without a simple pulse
Once I thought I'd like, once I thought I'd love
Then my dream awoke, and took off like a dove

Is this my awful curse, is this my pitied end?
Is this my darkened fate, to be without a friend?
If I'm to go with no one near, this I have to say
Cherish love cherish life, cherish every day
