In a little while from now
If I&#039;m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
To throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear
to whoever what it&#039;s
Like when you&#039;re shattered
Left standing in the lurch
At a church with people saying
&quot;My God, that&#039;s tough,
she stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home&quot;‎
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - who wouldn&#039;t do?‎
The role I was about to play
And as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much
As a mere touch
Threw me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in his mercy
Who 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 than
Can be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried
When my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn&#039;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
When she passed away I cried and
cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again,    naturally

Alone Again

by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Lyrics & chords · Original key

In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promise myself to treat myself

And visit a nearby tower

And climbing to the top

To 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 with people saying

"My God, that's tough,

she stood him 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 - who wouldn't do?‎

The role I was about to play

And as if to knock me down

Reality came around

And without so much

As a mere touch

Threw me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt

Talk about God in his mercy

Who 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 than

Can be mended

Left unattended

What do we do?

Looking back over the years

And whatever else appears

I remember I cried

When my father died

Never wishing to hide my 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

When she passed away I cried and

cried all day

Alone again, naturally
