By Myself
Lonely Reflections: Ella Fitzgerald's Heartfelt Solo
Lyrics
I'm so unhappy
I am experiencing profound sadness.
What'll I do?
What actions should I take to alleviate my distress?
I long for somebody who
I yearn for someone who
Will sympathize with me
Will understand and share my feelings.
I'm growing so tired of living alone
I am becoming weary of living in isolation.
I lie awake all night and cry
I stay awake at night, feeling the need to cry.
Nobody loves me
I feel unloved by anyone.
That's why
This lack of love is the reason for my unhappiness.
All by myself in the morning
In the morning, I find myself alone.
All by myself in the night
At night, I am also alone.
I sit alone with a table and a chair
I sit in solitude with only a table and a chair.
So unhappy there
I am unhappy in that solitary place.
Playing solitaire
I engage in the game of solitaire, highlighting my aloneness.
All by myself I get lonely
When alone, I experience loneliness.
Watching the clock on the shelf
I observe time passing by, emphasizing my solitude.
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I desire to lean my tired head on someone's shoulder for comfort.
I hate to grow older
I dislike the process of aging alone.
All by myself
I am entirely on my own.
