ALONE AGAIN

WHY DOES LIFE PLAY SUCH TRICKS

UPON THE HUMAN RACE?

IT SEEMS TO HAND US HAPPINESS,

THEN REMOVES IT, WITH NO TRACE,

EXCEPT FOR THE TEARS UPON MY CHEEKS,

THEY ATTEST TO IT'S HAVING GONE.

IT LEAVES ME MIGHTY EMPTY AND ALONE.

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.

I WONDER IF MY SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE

SHALL BE AN ENDLESS QUEST!

I WONDER IF TRUE LOVE IS FOR REAL,

OR ONLY AN IMITATION, AT IT'S BEST.

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.

THOUGHTS OF LOVE AND OF LOVING

SOMEONE WITH MY TOTAL BEING,

SEEM TO BE HOVERING ABOVE ME,

THOUGH I NEVER ACTUALLY SEE, BUT

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.

LOVE FLIRTS WITH ME ALMOST ENDLESSLY,

YET IT IS HARD FOR ME TO FALL

FOR THE "LINES" THAT ARE HANDED TO ME,

ONE COULD NEVER BELIEVE THEM ALL, STILL

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.

ONE MAN TURNS ON THE CHARM TO ME,

I LISTEN, WATCH AND WAIT

FOR HIM TO MAKE IT BETTER, OR

FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS FIRST MISTAKE,

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.

I GUESS THAT I AM NOT MADE TO BE LOVED

THE WAY THAT MY HEART DESIRES.

I WANT IT TRUE, I WANT IT PURE,

AND AS HIGH AS STEEPLE SPIRES. I'M

ALONE AGAIN, ALONE AGAIN, SO ALONE.
