Alone Again (Naturally)

Alone Again (Naturally) - Donny Osmond

In a little while from now

If not feeling any less sour

I promise myself

To treat myself

And visit a nearby tower

Climbing to the top

Will 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 it's tough

She's stood him up

No point in us remaining

We might 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

As if to knock my 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

Who if he really does exist

Why did he desert me

In my hour of need

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

Whatever else that appears

I remember I cried

When my father died

Never wishing to hide the tears

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

When she passed away

I cried and cried all day

Alone again

Naturally

Alone again

Naturally
