Ally McBeal For Once in My Life movie - Alone Again (Naturally) lyrics

rate me

Song by Vonda Shepard<br /><br>

In a little while from now<br>

If I'm not feeling any less sour<br>

I promise myself to treat myself<br>

And visit a nearby tower<br>

And climbing to the top will throw myself off<br>

In an effort to make it clear to whoever<br>

What it's like when you're shattered<br>

Left standing in the lurch at a church<br>

Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"<br>

"She stood him up"<br>

"No point in us remaining"<br>

"We may as well go home"<br>

As I did on my own<br>

Alone again, naturally<br>

<br>

To think that only yesterday<br>

I was cheerful, bright and gay<br>

Looking forward to, who wouldn't do? <br>

The role I was about to play?<br>

But as if to knock me down<br>

Reality came around<br>

And without so much as a mere touch<br>

Cut me into little pieces<br>

Leaving me to doubt<br>

Talk about God in His mercy<br>

Who, if He really does exist,<br>

Why did He desert me? <br>

In my hour of need<br>

I truly am indeed<br>

Alone again, naturally<br>

<br>

It seems to me that there are more hearts<br>

Broken in the world that can't be mended<br>

Left unattended<br>

What do we do? What do we do?<br>

<br>

[instrumental interlude]<br>

<br>

Alone again, naturally<br>

<br>

Looking back over the years<br>

And whatever else that appears<br>

I remember I cried when my father died<br>

Never wishing to hide the tears<br>

And at sixty-five years old<br>

My mother, God rest her soul<br>

Couldn't understand why the only man<br>

She had ever loved had been taken<br>

Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken<br>

Despite encouragement from me<br>

No words were ever spoken<br>

And when she passed away<br>

I cried and cried all day<br>

Alone again, naturally <br>

Alone again, naturally<br>

<br>
