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 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

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 that can't be mended

Left unattended What do we do? What do we do?

[ SOLO] 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 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
