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,
Will throw myself off

In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church

Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.

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, but 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,
All about God and His mercy
For 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?


(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,

And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried 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
