I'LL BE ALRIGHT
Gordon Lightfoot 1967



I'll be alright, I'll be alright if I don't have to smile
If I don't have to face the morning sunrise for a while
I'll get along you know I'll take tomorrow with a grin
If I never have to think about her love again.

And I won't mind if words are spoken
In empty love songs as long as I don't have to hear
I'll be alright if I don't have to face the world again
And if I never love again I'll be alright.

(bridge)
 
Last night she gave the final word, she said her last goodbye
And disappeared forever in the world outside
One kiss and then she took her leave to go I know not where
Into the misty shadows of the midnight air.

But I won't mind if words are spoken
In empty love songs as long as I don't have to hear
I'll be alright if I don't have to face the world again
And if I never love again, I'll be alright.
And if I never love again, I'll be alright.
