[00:12.20]In a little while from now
[00:14.90]If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:17.57]I promise myself to treat myself
[00:20.35]And visit a nearby tower
[00:23.35]And climbing to the top,
[00:26.09]will throw myself off
[00:26.09]In an effort to make it clear to who
[00:31.62]Ever what it's like when you're shattered
[00:34.27]Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:37.72]Where people saying,
[00:40.01]"My God, that's tough She's stood him up"“
[00:42.67]No point in us remaining
[00:45.78]We may as well go home”
[00:48.21]As I did on my own
[00:50.99]Alone again, naturally
[00:56.69]To think that only yesterday
[00:59.39]I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:02.10]Looking forward to well wouldn't do
[01:04.89]The role I was about to play
[01:07.64]But as if to knock me down
[01:10.42]Reality came around
[01:13.28]And without so much,
[01:14.56]As a mere touch
[01:16.37]Cut me into little pieces
[01:19.00]leaving me to doubt
[01:21.11]Talk about God in His mercy
[01:24.30]Who if He really does exist
[01:27.41]Why did he desert me
[01:30.17]in my hour of need
[01:32.66]I truly am indeed,
[01:35.29]alone again, naturally
[01:40.95]It seems to me that there are more hearts
[01:44.35]Broken in the world that can't be mended
[01:48.67]Left unattended
[01:51.20]What do we do?
[01:54.13]What do we do?
[02:36.99]Alone again, naturally
[02:43.00]Now looking back over the years
[02:45.69]And whatever else that appears
[02:48.20]I remember I cried when my father died
[02:51.02]Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:54.84]And at sixty-five years old
[02:56.54]My mother, God rest her soul
[02:59.41]Couldn’t understand why the only man
[03:02.12]She had ever loved had been taken
[03:05.17]Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
[03:10.48]Despite encouragement from me
[03:13.23]No words were ever spoken and
[03:16.39]when she passed away
[03:18.79]I cried and cried all day,
[03:21.58]Alone again, naturally
[03:27.15]Alone again, naturally
