Alone Again (Naturally)

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 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"
 "She 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 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 in 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?
 ♪
 Alone again, naturally
 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 65 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
