Lyric - "Alone" (Heart, 1987)

Alone
Composed by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly
Performed by Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson et al)
Album: Bad Animals
Capitol, May 16, 1987

(The song first appeared on via Steinberg and Kelly's pet project, 1983's I-Ten, "Taking a Cold Look." It was later recorded by John Stamos in his role as Gino Minelli, on the original soundtrack of the CBS sitcom Dreams in 1984. American rock band Heart made it a hit in 1987. Twenty years later, CĂ©line Dion recorded it for her album Taking Chances.)



I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

[CHORUS]
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted 
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

[CHORUS]

Alone
Alone
