Another day has gone I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart You are not alone Alone, alone Why, alone Just the other night I thought I heard you cry Asking me to come And hold you in my arms I can hear your prayers Your burdens I will bear But first I need your hand Then forever can begin Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone And I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart For you are not alone Whisper three words and I'll come runnin' And I and girl you know that I'll be there I'll be there You are not alone I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay For you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart For you are not alone (you are not alone) For I am here with you (I am here with you) Though you're far away (though you're far away) (You and me) I am here to stay For you are not alone (you are always in my heart) For I am here with you though we're far apart You're always in my heart For you are not alone not alone, oh
