Alone

Many years have come and gone

And still I'm all alone

No letters in the mailbox -----

No calls upon the phone.

I've found no one to comfort me

No one to really care

Nothing that can measure up

To the love we used to share.

I wonder where to go from here

I wonder what to do -----

I wonder if I'll find a way

To get over loving you.

So many things have happened,

I'm different than before

With no one here to turn to

I'm not happy anymore.

I wish that I could find a way

To start my life anew

To live and love and laugh again

The way I did with you.
