Richard Carpenter - In Love Alone lyrics

I memorise the words I want to say I practice every move I'll make I play the scene like you were here And I feel every breath you take But all my plans just seem to melt away The moment you walk in the room I try to speak but words won't come Till I'm alone again I'm leaving my heart on the shelf Sleep is a place I only cry myself And dream by myself I'm not in love alone We put our two hearts together Just like I've always known Once we begin we're forever And I will never spend A long night without you again So now you know What I've been going through Now all I really need to know Is why your eyes look so surprised Oh no, this can't be true Would you have let me walk away? Why have you kept your feelings locked away? Did I hear you say? I'm not in love alone We put our two hearts together Just like I've always known Once we begin we're forever And I will never spend A long night without you 'Cause I'm not in love alone We put our two hearts together Just like I've always known Once we begin we're forever And I will never spend A long night without you 'Cause I'm not in love alone...
