What Is Life Without Love
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
FWhat is life without love
What Bbis love without you
C7Why dream if they never come Ftrue
Why try to go on
When Bbyour only hopes are gone
C7Darling what is life without Flove
Instrumental (a full verse)
V#2
Somehow I can't forget
The Bbfirst day that we met
C7You were something from heaven Fabove
Now I'm asking you sweetheart
And Bbit's straight from my heart
C7Darling what is life without Flove
Instrumental (a full verse)
V#3
All alone how I yearn
That Bbsomeday you'll return
C7And be true as the stars up Fabove
If you'll only say you'll try
Then BbI'll be satisfied
C7Darling what is life without Flove
(Instrumental)
V#4 (*A repeat of V#1 as below)
FWhat is life without love
What Bbis love without you
C7Why dream if they never come Ftrue
Why try to go on
When Bbyour only hopes are gone
C7Darling what is life without Flove
End.
