I'll Walk Alone
Harry James & His Orchestra & Kitty Kallen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But to tell you the truth, I'll be lonely
I don't mind being lonely
When my heart tells me you are lonely, too
I'll walk alone
They'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather
There are dreams I must gather
I'll always be near you wherever you are each night
In every prayer
If you call I'll hear you, no matter how far
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Please walk alone
And send your love and your kisses to guide me
Till you're walking beside me
I'll walk alone
I'll always be near you wherever you are each night
In every prayer
If you call I'll hear you, no matter how far
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Please walk alone,
And send your love and your kisses to guide me
Till you're walking beside me, I'll walk alone
I'll walk alone

I'll walk alone
I'll continue on my journey by myself
But to tell you the truth, I'll be lonely
Honestly, I'll be saddened without your company
I don't mind being lonely
I'm used to being on my own
When my heart tells me you are lonely, too
I feel like you'll be lonely as well
They'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather
People will question why I choose to be alone
There are dreams I must gather
I have goals I need to achieve
Dreams we fashioned the night you held me tight
Goals we created together when we were close
I'll always be near you wherever you are each night
I'll be close to you in my thoughts every night
In every prayer
I'll include you in my prayers
If you call I'll hear you, no matter how far
I'll be there for you, regardless of distance
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Visualize me and I'll be with you
Please walk alone
It's okay for you to continue without me
And send your love and your kisses to guide me
Wish me well on my journey with warm thoughts
Till you're walking beside me
I hope to reunite with you someday
I'll walk alone
Until then, I'll continue alone

Kitty Kallen was a favorite of mine back in the 40's and 50's. She had an angel's voice.
