Sarah Vaughan - Alone Again (Naturally) lyrics

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
I'll throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people saying
"My God that's tough, he stood her up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home" as I did on my own

Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, well who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mеre touch
Cut me into little piеces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need?
I truly am indeed

Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are
More hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended, left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

Now looking back over the years
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a
Heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day

Alone again, naturally

I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
