Without A Song

Tony Bennett

Words by Billy Rose and Edward Ilescu

Music by Vincent Youmans



This version did not chart but

It was a # 6 hit in 1930 for Paul Whiteman

Sung in the Broadway show "Great Day" by Lois Deppe and the Russell Wooding Jubilee

Singers

Became the theme song of Lawrence Tibbett





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
