I'll Walk Alone
Rick Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk alone
Because 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 walk alone
They'll ask me why
And I'll tell them I'd rather

There are dreams I must gather
Dreams we talked of the night you held me tight
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 walk alone
I am alone and do not have anyone with me


Because to tell you the truth
Honestly, this is the reason


I'll be lonely
I will feel alone without anyone beside me


I don't mind being lonely
Although I feel alone, I am okay with it


When my heart tells me you are lonely too
When I feel like you may also be alone


They'll ask me why
Other people will question why I am alone


And I'll tell them I'd rather
I will explain that I choose to be alone


There are dreams I must gather

Until that day comes, I will continue to be alone

Rick's approach to standards such as these was always out of respect to the original versions, likely a trait inspired by his dad's (Ozzie's) influence. Always a smooth and easy delivery! 3/2019
