I've been alone, and lonely
And I know the difference now
I know you can hold someone tight in your arms
And still be alone, somehow
I've been in love, and I've made love
And I know the difference now
I've touched and I've felt someone touch me inside
Now that you've shown me how
I've watched the distance between us
Fading into the night
And I've felt love grow in the darkness
Til it was brighter than the morning light
I've had my share of lovers
But lovin's so different now
You touch me and suddenly I'm not alone
I feel like a lost child who's finally come home
And for the first time I feel really alive
Yes and I know the difference now
For the first time I feel really alive
Yes, and I know the difference, now
