Why, No One to Love? lyrics

No one to love in this beautiful world

Full of warm hearts and bright beaming eyes?

Where is the lone heart that nothing can find

That is lovely beneath the blue skies?

No one to love, no one to love!

Why, no one to love?

What have you done in this beautiful world

That you're sighing of no one to love?

Dark is the soul that has nothing to dwell on!

How sad must its brightest hours prove!

Lonely the dull brooding spirit must be

That has no one to cherish and love

No one to love, no one to love!

Why, no one to love?

What have you done in this beautiful world

That you're sighing of no one to love?

Many a fair one that dwells on the earth

Who would greet you with kind words of cheer

Many who gladly would join in your pleasures

Or share in your grief with a tear

No one to love, no one to love!

Why, no one to love?

Where have you roamed in this beautiful world

That you're sighing of no one to love?
