In a little while from now
   If I'm not feeling any less sour
   I promise myself to treat myself
   And visit a nearby tower
   And climbing to the top will throw myself off
   In an effort to make it clear to whoever
   What it's like when you're shattered
   Left standing in the lurch at a church
   Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
   "She stood him up"
   "No point in us remaining"
   "We may as well go home"
   As I did on my own
   Alone again, naturally
   To think that only yesterday
   I was cheerful, bright and gay
   Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
   The role I was about to play?
   But as if to knock me down
   Reality came around
   And without so much as a mere touch
   Cut me into little pieces
   Leaving me to doubt
   Talk about God in His mercy
   Who, if He really does exist,
   Why did He desert me?
   In my hour of need
   I truly am indeed
   Alone again, naturally
   It seems to me that there are more hearts
   Broken in the world that can't be mended
   Left unattended
   What do we do? What do we do?
   (instrumental interlude)
   Alone again, naturally
   Looking back over the years
   And whatever else that appears
   I remember I cried when my father died
   Never wishing to hide the tears
   And at sixty-five years old
   My mother, God rest her soul
   Couldn't understand why the only man
   She had ever loved had been taken
   Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
   Despite encouragement from me
   No words were ever spoken
   And when she passed away
   I cried and cried all day
   Alone again, natuarlly
   Alone again, naturally
