Alone Together
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together, we're strong
As long as we're together.

Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night were not in vain;
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together.

Our love is as deep as the sea,
Our love is as great as a love can be,




And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.
