I'd like to see you in the morning light I like to feel you when it comes to the night Now I'm here and I'm all alone Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again Tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you Alone again without you Alone again without you I said, "Stay", but you turned away Tried to say that it was me Now I'm here and I've lost my way Now I know how it feels, I'm alone again Tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you Alone again without you Alone again without you Alone again without you I tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you Alone again without you Alone again, alone again Alone again without you
