Accompaniment by Felix Chaplin:
Lyrics
- Just like a melody that lingers on
You seem to haunt me night and day
I never realized till you had gone
How much I cared about you
I can’t live without you
Chorus
All alone, I’m so all alone
There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring a-ting a-ling
I’m all alone ev’ry evening
All alone feeling blue
Wond’ring where you are
And how you are
And if you are all alone, too
- Just for a moment you were mine
And then you seemed to vanish like a dream
I long to hold you in my arms again
My life is very lonely
For I want you only
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
