Solitude
Echoes of Longing: Johnny Mathis' Solitude Unveiled
Lyrics
In my solitude
In a state of being alone and introspective
You haunt me
You persistently occupy my thoughts
With dreadful ease
You trouble me greatly and effortlessly
Of days gone by
Recalling moments from the past
In my solitude
Alone again, you mock or provoke me
You taunt me
You tease or provoke me
With memories
With unending recollections
That never die
That persistently linger
I sit in my chair
I am seated, overwhelmed by sadness
And filled with despair
Filled with a profound sense of hopelessness
There's no one could be so sad
No one could feel as sorrowful
With gloom everywhere
Gloom surrounds me completely
I sit and I stare
I sit and gaze blankly
I know that I'll soon go mad
I'm aware that I might lose my sanity soon
In my solitude
Again in my isolation
I'm afraid
I'm fearful
Dear Lord above
Asking for divine intervention
Send back my love
Requesting the return of my beloved
I sit in my chair
Resignedly seated
Filled with despair
Overwhelmed by despondency
There's no one, no one
No one, absolutely no one
No onecould be so sad
Could feel such profound sadness
With gloom everywhere
Gloom pervades every corner
I sit and I stare
I remain motionless and gaze emptily
I know that I'll soon go mad
Aware of the impending loss of my sanity
In my solitude
Once more, in my state of aloneness
I'm afraid
I'm filled with apprehension
Dear Lord above
Appealing to a higher power
Send back my love
To bring back the one I love
