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 who    Ever 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's 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 well 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 in doubt    Talk about God and His mercy    Or 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    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    Alone again, naturally
