A MAN ALONE

I've walked through every forest

i've sailed on every sea

I've seen the sun set

And felt the autum breeze

I've seen the leaves turn colors

And i've seen the flowers bloom

But as beautiful as it was

It don't mean nothin when your alone

Yes as beautiful as it was

It don't mean nothin when your alone

I've laughed a million times

And i smiled a million more

I've seen the beauty of people

Without ever opening the door

I've seen the poor man prosper

Thanks to help of all the others

But as beautiful as it was

It don't mean nothin when your alone

Yes as beautiful as it was

It don't mean nothin when your alone

Yes it's beautiful

I must admit

But that's only half of it

When all you have is your shadow

It seems that all good things go out the window

Like a married woman who's become a widow

When the one who makes you smile goes away

When your alone what does it matter anyway?

Well I'll live to see some changes

And i'll reach for a better day

When i have someone to talk to

Then my dreams will be made

The beauty is all around us

But not when we're alone

Someday I'll find someone

And we can live under the shining sun.
