Introduction:

                     C                            Am  
Another day has gone, I' m still all alone,
                    Dm                                G  
How could this be? You' re not here with me.
                     C                                Am  
You never said goodbye, someone tell me why,
                    Dm                                    G  
Did you have to go, and leave my world so cold?
     C                     A7                    F  
Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
Dm                                            G  
Something whispers in my ear and says that...

                C                                 Am  
You are not alone, for I am here with you.
                        Dm                        G  
Though you' re far away, I am here to stay.
                      C                                 Am  
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
                      Dm                                  G  
Though we' re far apart, you' re always in my heart,
                      C  
But you are not alone.
Ab  Bb  
No...
C  
' Lone, why?
Ab  Bb  
' Lone...

                     C                                  Am  
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry,
                Dm                                 G  
Asking me to come, and hold you in my arms.
                      C                                      Am  
I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear,
                            Dm                                G  
But first I need your hand, then forever can begin.
C                         A7                     F  
Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
Dm                                            G  
Something whispers in my ear and says that...

                C                                  Am  
You are not alone, for I am here with you.
                      Dm                         G  
Though you' re far away, I am here to stay.
                      C                                 Am  
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
                      Dm                                  G  
Though we' re far apart, you' re always in my heart,
                 D                                  Bm  
You are not alone, for I am here with you.
                        Em                         A  
Though you' re far away, I am here to stay.
                      D                                 Bm  
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
                      Em                                  A  
Though we' re far apart, you' re always in my heart,
                      E  
But you are not alone.
Ab  Bb
