Hildegard Knef
Without Love
How little I knew
Until very lately
You altered so greatly
My point of view
You opened my eyes
To joys which had missed me
And since you kissed me
To my surprise
Yes, since you kissed me
I realize
I realize-

Without love, what is a woman?
A pleasure unemployed
Without love, what is a woman?
A zero in the void
But with love, what is a woman?
Serene contentment, the perfect wife
For a woman to a man is just a woman
But a men to a woman is her life

But a man to a woman
Yes, a man to a woman is her life
