I'm lying all alone in this king sized bed

Thoughts of years gone by are running through my head

So many memories collide, so many reasons to smile

I should be up and out, but I'm gonna stay a while

Chorus:

It's so rare to be alone, so precious to have some time

I love you all eternally, but these few hours are mine

To dream, to plan, to remember, all that we've done and been

To dream, to plan, to remember, this joy comes from within

Alone in this hotel room, sheets so starched and white

A room service tray and old TV, watching late last night

No one asking questions, no one looking for me

Peace and calm and beautiful silence, this is being free

Chorus

Being alone gives freedom of thought, the space to reconnect

In the silence, I find answers, and a time to reflect

On the busy lives we lead, and the meaning of each day

When life is overwhelming, I need to sneak away

Chorus

Just one day is all I need, one day of quiet and space

Soon I'll be heading right back home, to see those 3 small faces

For some alone' is sad and bleak, for me it's just divine

Being alone is precious, thank you for this time.

Chorus
