Nat King Cole - Imitation of Life lyrics

what is love without the giving without love you're only living an imitation an imitation of life skies above in flaming color without love they're so much duller a false creation an imitation of life would the song of a lark sound half as sweet would the moon be as bright above every day would be gray and incomplete without the one you love lips that kiss can tell you clearly without this our lives are merely an imitation an imitation of life
