[00:11.340]In a little while from now
[00:13.660]If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:16.410]I promise myself to treat myself
[00:19.180]And visit a nearby tower
[00:21.920]And climbing to the top
[00:24.660]Will throw myself off
[00:27.510]In an effort to
[00:28.800]Make it clear to whoever
[00:30.590]Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
[00:33.030]Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:36.430]Where people saying, My God, that's tough
[00:39.890]She stood him up
[00:41.510]No point in us remaining
[00:44.100]We may as well go home
[00:46.730]As I did on my own
[00:49.530]Alone again, naturally
[00:55.260]To think that only yesterday
[00:57.660]I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:00.410]Looking forward to who wouldn't do
[01:03.290]The role I was about to play
[01:06.090]But as if to knock me down
[01:08.900]Reality came around
[01:11.480]And without so much as a mere touch
[01:14.240]Cut me into little pieces
[01:17.370]Leaving me to doubt
[01:19.320]Talk about, God in His mercy
[01:22.880]Oh, if he really does exist
[01:25.440]Why did he desert me
[01:28.520]In my hour of need
[01:30.790]I truly am indeed
[01:33.530]Alone again, naturally
[01:39.120]It seems to me that
[01:40.670]There are more hearts broken in the world
[01:43.800]That can't be mended
[01:46.560]Left unattended
[01:49.490]What do we do?
[01:52.060]What do we do?
[02:34.080]Alone again, naturally
[02:39.950]Looking back over the years
[02:42.340]And whatever else that appears
[02:45.030]I remember I cried when my father died
[02:47.830]Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:50.530]And at sixty-five years old
[02:53.310]My mother, God rest her soul
[02:56.010]Couldn't understand why the only man
[02:58.760]She had ever loved, had been taken
[03:01.940]Leaving her to start
[03:04.100]With a heart so badly broken
[03:07.040]Despite encouragement from me
[03:09.950]No words were ever spoken
[03:12.570]And when she passed away
[03:15.510]I cried and cried all day
[03:18.190]Alone again, naturally
[03:23.720]Alone again, naturally

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
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where 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 to 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 mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, 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?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever 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
Alone again, naturally
