Little Women movie - Here Alone lyrics

rate me

<br>

Marmee<br>

‘My dear husband…’<br>

Write a letter, be inventive.<br>

Tell you everything is fine.<br>

Be attentive to the distance.<br>

Send my love with every line. <br>

Every word should bring you closer<br>

And caress you with its tone.<br>

Nothing should remind you<br>

That I am here alone.<br>

<br>

I can’t tell you what I’m feeling.<br>

I can’t talk about the war.<br>

How the pealing of the church bells<br>

Brings the battle to our doors.<br>

I don’t know which part is harder,<br>

What I know or what’s unknown,<br>

Or raising little women<br>

When I am here alone.<br>

<br>

Counting Days,<br>

Praying for news,<br>

Is this the life<br>

We meant to choose?<br>

<br>

Do you know how much I miss you<br>

At this hour of the day?<br>

How I wish you were the twilight<br>

Come to take my fears away.<br>

Can I manage four young women?<br>

I’m not certain I know how.<br>

Will I be there when they need me?<br>

Do I fail them even now?<br>

I wish that you were with me,<br>

Wish that I could bring you home.<br>

The night seems so much longer<br>

Now that I am here alone.<br>

<br>

<br>
