Lyrics

ALONE (DEAREST ONE)

DEAREST ONE, I’M THINKING OF YOU
OH, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
DEAREST ONE, I MISS YOU STILL
AH, THE WINTER IN PARIS IS BRUTAL AS EVER
AND I AM ALWAYS COLD
MY BODY IS FEEBLE

TWENTY-ONE YEARS AND I’M STILL THINKING OF YOU
EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT
WHEN ONE IS OLD, ONE REMINISCES
I MISS THE GARDENS,
THE SALONS, YOUR KISSES AND…

DEAREST ONE, I AM SO LONELY
YES, I MAY JOIN YOU SOON
DEAREST ONE, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU
AND YOU’LL TALK MY EAR OFF WHILE I HOLD YOUR HAND
PLEASE WAIT FOR ME, WAIT FOR ME
YOUR DEVOTED ALICE B.
