My World Is Empty
Diana Supreme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
From this old world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories I know so well
I need your love more than before
I can hardly carry on anymore
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe, without you babe
My mind and soul have felt like this
Since love between us no more exist
And each time that darkness falls
If finds me alone with these four walls
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe, without you babe
Without you babe, without you babe
Without you babe, without you babe
Without you babe

Happy Birthday Florence. You are still loved and missed, and no matter what some may say, you were one of the original Supremes.

The first record I ever owned. My mom bought it for me. Now I listen to it in 2020, and I'm stunned by the beauty of the arrangement and the yearning in the vocals.
