I Don'T Want To Be Alone Tonight

I don't want to be alone tonight Night falls on the city... It's been a really long day... I see people together their love finds it's way So I look in the mirror a nice man smiles back at me and so I ask him Why must I be alone tonight? I go out to dinner... Sit at a table just for one... I see people around me whose love's just begun... so I start to wonder If I'm really all right... because, I don't... like to be alone at night Chorus So many years I've spent all alone Never needing anyone... An empty space... invades my soul... and my life's just come undone... and I know I need someone... someone who'll love me I go to the movies... I sit alone in my seat... Young lovers surround me Why can't they just let me be? I thought I was happy that I was doing fine... but now I don't... want to be alone tonight I walk through the city... the city that never sleeps... I see all the beauty... and I feel an urgent need... Where could she be hiding? Please let her love light shine! 'cause I can't take... being alone again tonight Chorus I go do some shopping... and what do I see? A beautiful woman... smiling right back at me and so I ask her... do you have the time? and she says yes... what do you have in mind? because, I don't... want to be alone tonight!

Love these lyrics John, indicative of the holiday season, loneliness seems more prevalent for some reason. 7+

There seems to be millions, "alone" if that makes any sense, and doesn't make a single one of us feel any better about it! Great lyrical poem, expressed so well!

I sure was hoping it would end the way it did. This was great John. Searching and finding love, no better theme that I can think of.
