Lyrics

Alone with You


My very favorite picture
Is still that one of us
I crawled up in your lap that night
Like a love-starved pup

Someone took a picture
And it captured us
A simpler time – of you and me
It kills me even now

All I ever wanted
Was to be alone with you
And alone with you is what I am
Even when you’re in the room

When I said I wanted to be alone
Be alone with you
This isn’t what I had in mind
I didn’t have a clue
That alone with you meant lonely
That alone with you meant blue
I never would have prayed so hard
To be alone with you

Lying here beside you now
Listenin’ to you breathe
Been tryin’ to say goodbye
For an eternity
Feels like the sun is setting
On the longest day I’ve known
The shadows gettin’ longer
I couldn’t feel more alone

[CHORUS]

Alone with you
Alone with you
Finally alone with you
Alone with you
Hard to believe
I could feel so alone with you
I know you feel
How hard I try
But did you know
How hard I cry?

Be careful what you wish for
never seemed so apropos
I would take it back if I could
I just didn’t know
How could a wish so innocent
A thought so pure
Turn against me in my darkest hour

[CHORUS]

Alone with you
Alone with you
Finally alone with you
Alone with you
Hard to believe
I could feel alone with you

I know you feel
How hard I try
But did you know
How hard I cry?

Be careful what you wish for
Never seemed so apropos
I would take it back if I could
I just didn’t know
How could a wish so innocent
A thought so pure
Turn against me in my darkest hour

Alone with you
Alone with you
Finally alone with you
Alone with you
