Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(melancholy piano music)

♪ I hear the ticking of the clock ♪

♪ I'm lying here the room's pitch dark ♪

♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪

♪ No answer on the telephone ♪

♪ And the night goes by so very slow ♪

♪ Oh I hope that it won't end though ♪

♪ Alone ♪

♪ Till now I always got by on my own ♪

♪ I never really cared until I met you ♪

♪ And now it chills me to the bone ♪

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

♪ You don't know how long I have wanted ♪

♪ To touch your lips and hold you tight ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ You don't know how long I have waited ♪

♪ And I was gonna tell you tonight ♪

♪ But the secret is still my own ♪

♪ And my love for you is still unknown ♪

♪ Alone ♪

(dramatic instrumental music)

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Till now I always got by on my own ♪

♪ I never really cared until I met you ♪

♪ And now it chills me to the bone ♪

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

(dramatic instrumental music)

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

♪ How do I get you alone ♪

♪ Alone ♪

♪ Alone ♪

(melancholy piano music)
