O'Sullivan, Gilbert - Alone Again (Naturally) Lyrics






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 clear to whomever
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, well, 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?

And 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?

Alone again, naturally

Now, 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, naturally
Alone again, naturally

  3. G.... B....

    I think I was in middle school when this came out. I never knew the words only the part "alone again naturally" but damn listening to it now its soooo sad. The song has some heavy lyrics.

    this song is absolutely BRUTAL! can we get a death metal version?

  17. J.... ....

    To think this was in a kid’s movie and never truly knowing the real lyrics behind the song ...😥

  18. A.... S....

    I play this every Valentine’s Day

  19. A.... H....

    I would’ve been alone if it weren’t for God always here for me
    Whenever I’m alone

  20. J.... W....

    All I can say is man
    Music is so powerful
    In so many ways!

  21. N.... ....

    This song actually has SO DEEP MEANING. His Father died, and his mother get depressed, and later died on 65 years old. He felt so so dark, then He sang this song. RIP to his father and Mother. 😢

    N.... ....

    And his fiancee leaving him at his wedding in the first verse

  25. K.... J....

    This is UNARGUABLY the MOST depressing song EVER written! Performed beautifully, tho....but SHEESH!

  26. g.... b....

    It's better to be alone than to be with bad people indeed

  27. H.... H....

    My mental health is so severe at the moment I am an emotional wreck.

    I can't stand much social interaction as it's too tiring.

  28. k.... a....

    The reason why I'm here because I'm depressed inside and I see no sighn of god, so should I go on with my life or end it, because alot if people call me ugly and they call me things that get in my head and I can't seem to shake them out

    k.... a....

    I am going through something very similar. Tbh i dont even know what to do anymore all i can say is keep your head up and dont lose hope.

  29. A.... ....

    I don't understand this song. Its so depressing yet it makes me happy and smile.

  30. E.... N....

    It has been an annual theme song every Valentine's, here I am, visiting it again.

  31. s.... a....

    My favourite song during my younger days...Primary School

  32. A.... a....

    Its feb 2020 who's in?

  33. J.... K....

    My whole family , and best friends are dead / It fucking sucks / I'm only 61............

  34. M.... F....

    Ice Age 3 and Stuart Little 2

  35. J.... M....

    When my dad died, my mom was heart broken and she was never the same. Within 6 months after my dad, my mom died. I was a lost soul for so many years.

  36. J.... M....

    I lost my Dad when i was 11 and 6 months later I lost my mum. Now at 57 years old, I look back and always longing to be with them. All the success I have today and forever I just wish they are here to share it with me. Yes, I do feel alone even when I am among all the people I know. The grief of losing your loved ones will never go away.

  37. M.... F....

    alguém ouvindo esta linda musica em 2020.

  46. A.... A....

    "always listen to buck" ice age bring me here

  47. A.... A....

    This song gave me mandela effect PTSD because I swore the lyrics were
    "I shouldn't be hangin' round
    When the world's turned upside down
    You abandoned me
    I fell off the tree, to the hard and lonely ground
    You've found somebody new
    And cracked my shell in two
    How could i foresee?
    You'd turn out to be, such a buck toothed casanova..."

  48. k.... w....

    great song ahh my childhood
    I was so alone

  49. E.... A....

    I wish happiness for all of you

  54. J.... A....

    This is the song we play in the car when we’re watching a sunset

  55. V.... P....

  56. L.... E....

    Listening in 2020.

  57. D.... D....

    Stuart Little

  58. a.... ....

  59. u.... k....

    If you hate someone whish them they find true love and Tha true love break them heart. every pain in this world go aways by time but broken heart ever mends

  60. a.... p....

    such is life just let it be

  61. B.... A....

    Being alone isn't just a feeling of isolation, It's a reaction that happens when our soul is tired of being around something it could never be.

  62. P.... ....

    This song came out when my mother died. 😢😢😢😢😢

  63. S.... W....

    I am kind of holding my tear every time when I hear this song

  64. 2.... ....

    There is a masterpiece song called Alone Again Or by a LA band called Love. One of my top favorite songs.

  69. T.... G....

    I have been there, shattered, after many a breakup.

  70. P.... E....

    So naturally, as you need to, stop and Love yourself, for having the courage to live on.

    P.... E....

    My crush is the only thing keeping me alive, I’m going to ask her to be my gf soon, but if she says no, then I’ll be back to nothing, but heartbroken at the same time, I don’t know if I’ll even try to live if she says no

    P.... E....

    Well, I asked her, she denied me, cya all later

    P.... E....

    @Church of Shigechi you ok, mate?

  71. k.... ....

  72. D.... A....

    Growing up in the early 70s as a little kid, you don't understand the meaning but you get the melody and melancholy. This and seasons in the sun always stuck out back then and I guess still.

  73. M.... L....

    Am probably the only one who came from end of sex education season 2.....end credits sing

  74. J.... ....

  80. F.... Z....

    This is the most beautiful song I ever heard in my entire life, and it makes sense for me right now!!

  81. J.... L....

    Who came here from the zanman?

  82. T.... P....

    I don't fit anywhere. Not even with the weirdos in class hehehe... :/

  83. A.... 2....

    When you introduce your crush to your friend and they start talking and making plans in front of you


    *heh*

  84. A.... V....

    He sounds like robin Gibb

  85. E.... B....

    No other song could describe how I feel as I sit here, my birthday just past without an ounce of acknowledgement, trying to decide whether I should go to work or just end myself.

    E.... B....

    I hope you had a good day (or night) at work. Just saying. Aloha!

    E.... B....

    As a suicidal person myself, just know that somebody cares, even if it’s a random co-worker or friend or family member, please know that,

    E.... B....

    Mr.eric, I have the upmost respect for you, but I have to know if you ended up finding a reason to keep moving everyday

    E.... B....

    @Church of Shigechi I'm still here, although I still wonder why I bother. I guess it's so my dogs will get fed.

  86. J.... K....

    It sucks being all alone/ I have no one for support !!

  87. C.... V....

    2020 still alone

  88. B.... D....

    Touched my heart in so many ways 💙

  89. M.... L....

    My wife Michelle left me after 20 years because she thought I didn't love her anymore. Unfortunately mental illness played a part in our break up. She thought things happened that never did. She is the most I credible woman I've ever know. My heart is crushed and I have no reason to go on. If you're out there Michelle you need to know I still love you and I always will. You are my world
    Goodbye

    M.... L....

    This is just sad man

    M.... L....

    Talk to someone bro the internet can be a great place and if you have any other family and friends I’m sure they can help you. Just know that you are still loved. Ending it all isn’t the option. The world is a beautiful place. If you read this stay strong bro but if not I whisk the best for you where ever you may be.

    M.... L....

    Sometime things are unexpected and can't be explained. I know how you feel and it can or can't get better. No cliches here, life's a mother

    M.... L....

    At this point of time my only guess is you have already committed suicide.

    M.... L....

    If you are planning suicide don't do it you still have the rest of your life ahead of you.

  90. D.... F....

    The song you listen to when you cut yourself..:/

  91. J.... H....

    P.... ....

    @itsoussema I dont know why he did it but in interviews he explained it and he sounded so smug and condescending from a musician's perspective.

    P.... ....

    @Person fuck copyright laws
