You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You
Discover the True Measure of Nobility in Frank Sinatra's Classic
Lyrics
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You lack significance until someone loves you.
You're nobody 'til somebody cares
Your existence gains value when someone shows concern for you.
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
Even if you have great wealth and power, true value lies in love.
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
Material possessions, like gold, don't bring happiness in old age.
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
The world remains constant; changing it is a futile endeavor.
As sure as the stars shine above
Certainty that the world remains unchanged, like stars above.
