By Myself

By Myself
music by Arthur Schwartz (center)
lyric by Howard Dietz (top right)

I'm feeling lonely; think of you only,
How sad my heart gets when I see you're not around.
Please don't confuse me, why try to lose me?
You know you swept me off the ground...

Too bad about us; you had to doubt us;
At first our love was just like a glittering star.
Goodbye, so long, babe; could be you're wrong, babe.
What good is heaven so near, yet so far...

I'll go my way by myself; this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself; love is only a dance.
I'll face the unknown; I'll build a world of my own.
No one knows better than I myself, I'm by myself alone...

I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart how to sing,
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing.
I'll face the unknown; I'll build a world of my own.
No one knows better than I myself, I'm by myself alone...
