[Verse 1]
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
[Chorus]
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Alone, alone
Why, alone
[Verse 2]
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
[Chorus]
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
And I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone, oh
[Bridge]
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And I, girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
[Chorus]
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
(You are not alone)
For I am here with you
(I am here with you)
Though you're far away
(Though you're far away, you and me)
I am here to stay
You are not alone
(You are always in my heart)
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
[Outro]
You are not alone, oh
(Alone)
You are not alone, you are not alone
Say it again
You are not alone, you are not alone
Not alone, not alone
If you reach out for me, girl
In the morning
In the evening
Not alone, not alone
You and me
Not alone, no
Together, together
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Believe in me
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Not alone, oh
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
[Chorus]
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Alone, alone
Why, alone
[Verse 2]
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
[Chorus]
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
And I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone, oh
[Bridge]
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And I, girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
[Chorus]
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
(You are not alone)
For I am here with you
(I am here with you)
Though you're far away
(Though you're far away, you and me)
I am here to stay
You are not alone
(You are always in my heart)
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
[Outro]
You are not alone, oh
(Alone)
You are not alone, you are not alone
Say it again
You are not alone, you are not alone
Not alone, not alone
If you reach out for me, girl
In the morning
In the evening
Not alone, not alone
You and me
Not alone, no
Together, together
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Believe in me
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Gotta stop being alone
Not alone, oh
