Text: Barry Manilow. In Another World.
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall
Far away, I can here the city screams
Drift away, I can be beside you in my dreams
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
I have no stronghold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go, I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away, wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall
Far away, I can here the city screams
Drift away, I can be beside you in my dreams
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
I have no stronghold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go, I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away, wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
