74.

[00:11.13] In a little while from now

[00:13.63] If I'm not feeling any less sour

[00:16.38] I promise myself to treat myself

[00:19.12] And visit a nearby tower

[00:22.13] And climbing to the top will throw myself off

[00:27.88] In an effort to make it clear to whoever

[00:30.62] What it's like when you're shattered

[00:33.13] Left standing in the lurch at a church

[00:36.63] Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"

[00:40.12] "She stood him up"

[00:41.63] "No point in us remaining"

[00:44.37] "We may as well go home"

[00:46.88] As I did on my own

[00:49.63] Alone again, naturally

[00:55.63] To think that only yesterday

[00:58.12] I was cheerful, bright and gay

[01:00.87] Looking forward to who wouldn't do

[01:03.61] The role I was about to play?

[01:06.63] But as if to knock me down

[01:09.12] Reality came around

[01:11.87] And without so much as a mere touch

[01:14.63] Cut me into little pieces

[01:17.63] Leaving me to doubt

[01:19.87] Talk about God in His mercy

[01:22.87] Who if He really does exist

[01:25.88] Why did He desert me?

[01:28.63] In my hour of need

[01:31.12] I truly am indeed

[01:34.13] Alone again, naturally

[01:39.62] It seems to me that there are more hearts

[01:42.87] Broken in the world that can't be mended

[01:47.13] Left unattended

[01:49.88] What do we do? What do we do?

[02:35.88] Alone again, naturally

[02:41.63] Looking back over the years

[02:44.38] And whatever else that appears

[02:46.88] I remember I cried when my father died

[02:49.62] Never wishing to hide the tears

[02:52.37] And at sixty-five years old

[02:55.37] My mother, God rest her soul

[02:57.87] Couldn't understand why the only man

[03:00.63] She had ever loved had been taken

[03:03.63] Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken

[03:09.13] Despite encouragement from me

[03:11.88] No words were ever spoken

[03:14.63] And when she passed away

[03:17.63] I cried and cried all day

[03:20.13] Alone again, naturally

[03:25.62] Alone again, naturally
