Intro

  
   
   

Verse 1

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,
Will throw myself off 
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people're say___ing,
"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...

Refrain

Alone again, naturally

Verse 2

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Rea__lity came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
Talk about God and His mer___cy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am in__deed,

Refrain

Alone again, naturally

Bridge

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? 

Interlude: Flamenco Guitar

    
    
  
    
    
   
     

Refrain

Alone again, naturally

Verse 3

Now 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 bro___ken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day

Refrain/Ending

Alone again, naturally  
Alone again,______naturally
