Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good no-how
Without a song
I got my troubles and woe but sure as I know that Jordan
will roll
I'll get along as long as a song is strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!!
Words by Billy Rose and Edward Ilescu, Music
