Theres no one in the hallway
But me, myself, and I
I long to hear small voices,
Its hard to know just why..

Im living life alone these days,
Theres no one here, but me,
The silence is my buddy now,
Im lost, Im scared, but free

No fights, no strife, no rushing to get home..
But day and night and in between,
Im sitting here alone.

Where have all the lovers gone?
When did the kids leave home?
It happened while I stood, and watched,
Time left me here alone.

Im quite surprised most of the time,
To wake up just with me,
My thoughts are my companions now,
Together, we think, and we see...

That life is oh so fragile,
Loved ones grow, and go
Strength and faith, help us handle
A life lived quite alone.
