Alone Again (naturally) Lyrics - Singles - Gilbert Osullivan

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 

Were 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 

And when she passed away 

I cried and cried all day 

Alone again, naturally 

Alone again, naturally
