Lyrics: A Man Without Love

I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then something changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no loving arms to hold meEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that itā€™s cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without loveI cannot face this world thatā€™s fallen down on me
So if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart thatā€™s slowly dying
Say I canā€™t stop myself from cryingEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that itā€™s cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without loveEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
