What good is the day without sun? What good is a life that is so lonely and dreams that are idly spun? What good is a flowerless garden or grass that has never felt dew? What good is a life without true love and What good am I without you? And meaningless would be a great plan that never came true in the end. And tiresome would be long road if some places it didn't bend.

And that's why I say without you my life is empty and blue For I am so lonely and lost, dear, it seems like my dreams will never come true.
