Accompaniment by Felix Chaplin:


Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
