I could speak tongues of both angels and men Prophesy mysteries time and again But if love is absent then I am nothing If I should boast in the trouble I face Pray and the mountains be moved from their place If love is absent then it’s all a waste Teach me to love like you do Faithful and always true Prophecies fade and all tongues they will cease Knowledge, like mountains cast into the sea But love stretches far as the eye can see Oh, love never fails Keeps no record of wrongs Love is enduring And love suffers long It's never resentful But patient and strong So teach me to love like you do Faithful and always true 'Cause love is a scarlet hue Without love, it means nothing at all If I don't have love I have nothing at all Let me not wander, o lord Lost in the weary world Let me not forfeit my soul Without love, it means nothing at all If I don’t have love I have nothing at all Without love, it means nothing at all If I don’t have love I have nothing at all
