You Are Not Alone

R. Kelly · Love Letter [2010]

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold



Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay



You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone



All alone

Why, oh



Just the other night

I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come

And hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers

Your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand

So forever can begin



Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Then something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away



I am here to stay

For you are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

And you are not alone



Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

And girl you know that I'll be there

I'll be there



You are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart



You are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay



For you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart



For you are not alone
