Gilbert Osullivan - Alone Again(Naturally)

~めぞん一刻~ 第24話OP

Lyrics: Gilbert O'Sullivan

Composition: Gilbert O'Sullivan

Arrangement: Gilbert O'Sullivan

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 who-

Ever 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's 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

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.
