Alone

Ricky Nelson


I waited for the sunrise 
But it never came 
I can see all the people 
Somehow they're not the same 

They're lost in the dreams 
In the schemes that my eyes couldn't see 
The wishing wells, the small hotels 
Are what you left me 

You said goodbye to me today 
You left me on my own 
Someone's gotta help me find my way 
I'm standing here alone 

I said "please stay" you laughed and walked away 
It's all over now 
I can't believe it, I can't conceive it 
That you're gone somehow 

[instrumental]

The smiling faces, the warm embraces 
They're all in the past 
Your sweet caress, my happiness 
It just couldn't last 

People say that I am just a fool 
That I should go back home 
I just smile and say I'm doin fine 
I'm glad that I'm alone 

I guess I'll go back home 
I'll always be alone
