Without you, Heaven would be too dull to bear,
And Hell would not be Hell if you are there.

Without you, Heaven would be too dull to bear, And Hell would not be Hell if you are there.

Without you, Heaven would be too dull to bear, And Hell would not be Hell if you are there.

Without you, Heaven would be too dull to bear, And Hell would not be Hell if you are there.

Without you, Heaven would be too dull to bear, And Hell would not be Hell if you are there.
