For a guy who had so little,
I sure have lost a lot
Her love was all I've ever owned,
and now what have I got?
Old memories and used -to -be's
comprise the total sum
I came in this world with nothing
I'm back where I started from
Heavy -hearted, empty -handed,
forced to make my way alone
But I can't make much apart
from all the joy I've ever known
The heart she once made gay and bright
has now turned dark and glum
I came in this world with nothing
I'm back where I started
from
Take away the leaves and branches
and the tree stands cold and bare.
Take away man's inspiration
and he ceases soon to care.
You can't subtract from zero
without getting minus one.
I'm zero minus the one I love,
back where I started from
Heavy hearted, empty handed,
forced to make my way alone
But I can't make much apart
from all the joy I've ever known
The heart she once made gay and bright
has now turned dark and glum
I came in this world with nothing
I'm back where I started from
