All alone am I… ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart…
People all around but I don’t hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
No use in holding other hands
For I’d be holding only emptiness…
No use in kissing other lips
For I’d be thinking just of your caress…
All alone am I… ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart.
People all around but I don’t hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
No other voice can say the words…
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again.
All alone am I… ever since your goodbye.
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I dont hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart…
If Johnny Tillotson had not come along
and covered this song, the
original version
by Brenda Lee
would be my favorite. I think
this is the only
song Tillotson
ever recorded that called for
a line to be spoken, other
than TRUE, TRUE HAPPINESS. His speaking voice in ALL ALONE AM I is
nonpariel for
soothing romantic sincerity and sensitively.
I'm a sucker for heart huggers from the era, fifties and a bit further.
Simpler times they began, with rebels on the horizon that put a fervour to the spirit. And now we live in times of despair, anger and fear.
But things will change, they always do, eventually. And in the meantime, sooth the soul with simple tunes that remind us that worry is not a full stop.
••• addendum And the lad is still alive. I get quite sad when I find that someone has passed on. But do not worry; life is continuous. It takes more than one stop on this merry-go-round to fulfil our purpose and purify our heats,
.... Second addendum. I found the lad on Pirate's Bay, naughty and cheap am I am. Downloading some of his work as we speak. Shall venture to IMDB to learn more about him.
Namaste and care,
mhikl
I witnessed a couple dancing on roller skates to this song, they made it seem so easy, they were one on the floor and you could tell they were a couple away from dancing. He was very hansom, she was stunningly beautiful! They danced flawlessly!
