I Can'T Be Alone

I can't be alone

My happiness has fled,
so many tears I've shed,
Now that you have gone....
tell me how to go on...

It's just another day,
since you have gone away,
Now I'm on my own, 
I don't want to be alone....
I can't be alone.

You were everything I wanted,
and so...so much more
Now I stare down at the floor...
my hand just can't reach the door

There is one thing that I know for sure,
you're never coming back...but,
I just can't accept that fact...
my wheels have come off the tracks.

Imagination's fine...
I sit and drink my wine...
I don't want to be alone...
I can't be alone.

Bridge
I can't be alone.........
it's such a surprise, but I realize
I can't be alone.........

Everyday I sit and wonder,
about, just what went wrong...
You haven't been gone that long,
My love for you is still strong.

My friends they tell me everything,
about all you do,
I pray that it's not true,
cause, I just can't be without you

repeat vs's 1 and 2

My happiness has fled,
so many tears I've shed,
Now that you have gone....
tell me how to go on...

It's just another day,
since you have gone away,
Now I'm on my own, 
I don't want to be alone....
I can't be alone.

Bridge
I can't be alone.........
it's such a surprise, but I realize
I can't be alone.........

repeat bridge and fade.
