All Alone Am I
Words & Music by Hadjidakis & Arthur Altman
Recorded by Brenda Lee, 1962 (#3)
Em C D Bm
All alone am I ever since your goodbye,
C Am7 B7
All alone with just the beat of my heart;
Em C D Bm
People all around but I don't hear a sound,
Am7 D7 G Am7 G G/F#
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
Bridge:
Em B+ Em7 Em6
No use in holding other hands,
Em C B7
For I'd be holding only emptiness;
Em B+ Em7 Em6
No use in kissing other lips,
Em C B7
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.
Bridge 2:
Em B+ Em7 Em6
No other voice can say the words
Em C B7
My heart must hear to ever sing again
Em B+ Em7 Em6
The words you used to whisper low
Em C D
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 don't hear a sound,
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
