Lyrics
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just the beat of my heart
People all around but I don’t hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No use in holding other hands
For I’d be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I’d be thinking just of your caress
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just the beat of my heart
People all around but I don’t hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just the beat of my heart
People all around but I don’t hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
