Once I told you without feeling When you came to me in sorrow There's a truth that life's revealing We all have to be alone You only wanted someone to hold you Tell you she'd be there tomorrow But instead I only told you We all have to be alone Then I was amazed to see How quickly you agreed with me If that's the way it has to be There's nothing left to say No reason left to stay Besides I've got a lot of better things to do today So my world grew so much colder With little love to lend or borrow And I found out as I grew older We all have to be alone
