About All Alone Am I

"All Alone Am I" is a song from 1962 popularized by the American singer Brenda Lee. The song was originally composed by the Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis and recorded in Greek by Tzeni Karezi for the soundtrack of the film To nisi ton genneon (The Island of the Brave); the original song in Greek is titled "Μην τον ρωτάς τον ουρανό" ("Min ton rotas ton ourano", translation: "Don't ask the heaven"). Later, a new version of the song with English lyrics was produced by Owen Bradley and appeared as the title track on one of Lee's albums. The song is written in the key of F major, but begins on the sub-dominant B-flat major 7th chord.

All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No use in holding other hands 
For I'd be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking just of your caress

All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again

All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart
