Alone Again (Naturally) Lyrics

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, I'll 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, you stood her 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, as 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 and 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?

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 broken
Despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken
And when she passed away, I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally

I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
