《Alone Again (Naturally)》歌词

[00:00:00] Alone Again (Naturally) - Esther Phillips

[00:00:02] In a little while from now

[00:00:03] If I'm not feeling any less sour

[00:00:06] I promise myself to treat myself

[00:00:09] And visit a nearby tower

[00:00:11] And climbing to the top will throw myself off

[00:00:16] In an effort to make it clear to whoever

[00:00:19] What it's like when you're shattered

[00:00:21] Left standing in the lurch at a church

[00:00:24] Where people saying

[00:00:26] My God that's tough

[00:00:28] She stood him up

[00:00:29] No point in us remaining

[00:00:31] We may as well go home

[00:00:34] As I did on my own

[00:00:36] Alone again naturally

[00:00:42] To think that only yesterday

[00:00:44] I was cheerful bright and gay

[00:00:47] Looking forward to who wouldn't do

[00:00:49] The role I was about to play

[00:00:52] But as if to knock me down

[00:00:54] Reality came around

[00:00:56] And without so much as a mere touch

[00:00:59] Cut me into little pieces

[00:01:02] Leaving me to doubt

[00:01:04] Talk about God in His mercy

[00:01:07] Who if He really does exist

[00:01:09] Why did He desert me

[00:01:11] In my hour of need

[00:01:14] I truly am indeed

[00:01:16] Alone again naturally

[00:01:22] It seems to me that there are more hearts

[00:01:25] Broken in the world that can't be mended

[00:01:29] Left unattended

[00:01:31] What do we do What do we do

[00:02:20] Alone again naturally

[00:02:21] Looking back over the years

[00:02:23] And whatever else that appears

[00:02:24] I remember I cried when my father died

[00:02:26] Never wishing to hide the tears

[00:02:27] And at sixty-five years old

[00:02:30] My mother God rest her soul

[00:02:32] Couldn't understand why the only man

[00:02:35] She had ever loved had been taken

[00:02:38] Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken

[00:02:43] Despite encouragement from me

[00:02:45] No words were ever spoken

[00:02:47] And when she passed away

[00:02:50] I cried and cried all day

[00:02:52] Alone again naturally

[00:02:55] Alone again naturally
