In Another World - Barry Manilow

This is the first time on my own

this is the first time I’ve ever been alone like this

the silence covers wall to wall

I never knew how suddenly the night can fall

far away

I can here the city screams

drift away

I could be beside you in my dreams

In another world

I could walk away

pretend there was nothing

I wouldn’t need you anyway

in another world

but not in this world

I have no stronghold to defend

but still my heart is outside, beating at the door again

no promises to make or keep

and though I’m free to go

I end up chasing sleep again

drift away

wonder if you think of me yesterday, is the place I’m going endlessly

REPEAT CHORUS

and though I realize the truth

is not idealized in you

why should I be surprised to find

that you are always on my mind

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

This is the first time on my own

this is the first time I’ve ever been alone like this

the silence covers wall to wall

I never knew how suddenly the night can fall

far away

I can here the city screams

drift away

I could be beside you in my dreams

In another world

I could walk away

pretend their was nothing

I wouldn’t need you anyway

in another world

but not in this world

I have no strong hold to defend

but still my heart is outside, beating at the door again

no promise to make or keep

one thought I’m free to go

I end up chasing sleep again

drift away

wonder if you think of me yesterday, is the place I’m going endlessly

REPEAT CHORUS

and though I realize the truth

is not that I desire in you

why should I be surprised to find

that you are always on my mind

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

This is the first time on my own

this is the first time I ever been alone like this

this is the first time I ever been alone like this
