The Righteous Brothers

Songwriter: Gerry Goffin Carole King

Producer: Bill Medley

With the music of life, my soul is out of tune
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon
My love for you, I just couldn't convey
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away
Now I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel
Now I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate
Doomed to find out things a little too late
And so I must play this broken man's role
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul
'Cause I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Without a dream
Without a dream

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
