Alone Again
Diana Krall & Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling anyless sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying 'my God
that's tough she's stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home'
As I did on my own.
Alone again, naturally
(Michael Bublé)
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much
As a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in his mercy
Who if he really does exist
Why did he desert me, in my hour of need?
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally.
(Diana Krall & Michael Bublé)
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
(Michael Bublé)
What do we do?
(Diana Krall)
What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
(Michael Bublé)
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
(Diana Krall)
And at sixty-five years old
My mother God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
(Diana Krall & Michael Bublé)
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me no words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
The lyrics of Diana Krall and Michael Bublé song Alone Again, Naturally is a blend of two stories. The lyrics start with Diana Krall, referring to her overwhelming feeling following an unrequited love affair, whereby she promises to herself that she will visit a nearby tower and throw herself off, which signifies how much she has been shattered. The singer then goes into a wedding ceremony, and the leaving guests are offering condolences for the individual who got stood up at the altar - this is possibly the individual who stood Diana Krall up. In conclusion, the lyrics refer to the feeling of loneliness, despair, and the realization that most people have been left heartbroken in life.
Michael Bublé then takes over the lyrics and seems to be talking about a different circumstance. He talks about going through a difficult time, and then he was metaphorically cut into little bits, symbolizing pain and heartbreak. He then questions the existence of God, asking why he deserted him in his time of need. He talks about the pain of losing his father and how he cried when he passed on. He then concludes the lyrics by mentioning that his mother could not fathom why her lover had been taken from her, and although there were messages of goodwill from family members, nothing could fix the pain. In conclusion, the lyrics of Alone Again, Naturally can be seen as a representation of pain, heartbreak, and grief that the human conscience inevitably experiences during life.

In a little while from now
In the near future
If I'm not feeling anyless sour
If I haven't cheered up
I promise myself to treat myself
I vow to do something nice for myself
And visit a nearby tower
Go see a famous structure nearby
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
Jump off the top of the tower
In an effort to make it clear to who
To show someone
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
What being broken-hearted feels like
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Abandoned at the altar
Where people saying 'my God
Onlookers react
that's tough she's stood him up
Sympathize for the abandoned bride
No point in us remaining
There's nothing left to do
We may as well go home'
Let's just leave
As I did on my own.
Alone
To think that only yesterday
Just the day before
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Happy and carefree
Looking forward to well who wouldn't do
Eager for something exciting
The role I was about to play
A part in something
But as if to knock me down
A turn of event
Reality came around
The truth hit me
And without so much
Without any
As a mere touch
A single warning
Cut me into little pieces
Left me broken and helpless
Leaving me to doubt
Making me question
Talk about God in his mercy
Invoking God's kindness
Who if he really does exist
If there is, in fact, a God
Why did he desert me, in my hour of need?
Why did God abandon me when I needed help?
I truly am indeed
Certainly
Alone again, naturally.
Feeling lonely once again
It seems to me that there are more hearts
There appear to be more people
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Damaged beyond repair
Left unattended
Without care
What do we do?
What's the solution?
Now looking back over the years
Reflecting on the past
And whatever else that appears
And whatever else comes to light
I remember I cried when my father died
I recall mourning my dad's death
Never wishing to hide the tears
Not wanting to conceal my sadness
And at sixty-five years old
At the age of sixty-five
My mother God rest her soul
My deceased mother
Couldn't understand why the only man
Didn't comprehend why the man
She had ever loved had been taken
She lost the love of her life
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Causing her immense heartache
Despite encouragement from me no words were ever spoken
Even with my efforts to console her, she remained silent
And when she passed away
And after her death
cried and cried all day
I wept continuously
Alone again, naturally
Feeling lonely once again
Alone again, naturally
Feeling lonely once again

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like When you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me

@sylvernote
Whoever did the guitar solo here really made sure that every single note was of utmost significance and relevance to the song. I raise my glass to you!
@matthirn7858
I have been looking for a version of this song without the up-tempo melody and bouncy backbeat. These two bring the introspective sadness of the song out quite nicely.

Estou com lĂĄgrimas nos Ăłlhos , nĂŁo existe nada mais covarde , que o tempo , passa tĂŁo rĂĄpido , principalmente quando estĂĄ tudo Ă s mil maravilhas e nĂłs nĂŁo percebemos , que quando ĂȘle (o tempo) passa , nĂłs ficamos mais gastos e saudosos , mas ainda bem que guardamos os bons momentos na memĂłria , e relembrar Ă© viver !!!!!!!!

@user-yp4vq2nc8x
I love Michael buble and Diana krill. No one sings it like Sarah Vaughn. I want to cry just hearing her sing this.
