I haven't got a hope in my pocket.
I haven't got a dream to my name.
But people, people, let me tell you,
I am lucky just the same.
I got a memory, I got a memory,
Of a woman, Such a woman,
God only made one.
And when I held her, when I held her,
Well I knew I held a sun.
'Cause she warmed me,
Yes, she warmed me, and lighted my way.
And when she left me,
That was the end of my day.
I haven't got a woman to hold to.
I haven't had a love for so long.
But people, people, you've got to believe me,
I know I can get along.
I've got a memory, I've got a memory,
Of a woman, such a woman,
God only made one.
And when I held her, when I held her,
I knew I held a sun.
'Cause she warmed me,
Yes she warmed me, and lighted my way,
And when she left me,
That was the end of my day.
I haven't got a dream to my name.
But people, people, let me tell you,
I am lucky just the same.
I got a memory, I got a memory,
Of a woman, Such a woman,
God only made one.
And when I held her, when I held her,
Well I knew I held a sun.
'Cause she warmed me,
Yes, she warmed me, and lighted my way.
And when she left me,
That was the end of my day.
