Lyrics
They call, no date
I promised you I’d wait
I want them all to know
I’m strictly single-o
Chorus
I’ll walk alone, because
To tell you the truth, I’ll be lonely
I don’t mind being lonely
When my heart tells me you
Are lonely, too
I’ll walk alone, they’ll ask me why
And I’ll tell them I’d rather
There are dreams I must gather
Dreams we fashioned
The night you held me tight
I’ll always be near you, wherever you are
Each night in every prayer
If you call, I’ll hear you
No matter how far
Just close your eyes and I’ll be there
Please walk alone and send your love
And your kisses to guide me
Till you’re walking beside me
I’ll walk alone
