ALONE AT LAST
Ted Fiorito (m) Gus Kahn (l) 1925

as recorded by Lee Morse (vocal & guitar) 
June 25th 1925



I just can't believe it's true,
Here we are alone, we two.
I have waited all my life, it seems,
To tell my dreams to you!

There was I, waiting all alone,
Wondering why I was all alone.
Wondering when I would find you, dear;
You were here, oh so far though so near!

There we met, and we've never known
What it means, being all alone.
Hold me close, time is flying fast,
Here we are, all alone at last!

Ah, there was I, waiting all alone,
Wondering why I was all alone.
Wondering when I would find you, dear;
You were here, oh so far though so near!

There we met, and we've never known
What it means, being all alone.
Oh, hold me close, time is flying fast,
Here we are, all alone at last!
