My First Night Alone Without You

(album: Cherish - 1972)

There's an aching in my head
From this bed I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you

Half of me has gone away
Gone the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find a way
To live the rest of my life alone without you

You taught me how to live
To be myself
And how to give
Oh, and now it's you
Who's given up on giving

You lost the things, no one could teach
You changed and now you're out of reach
And life tonight, ooh life tonight, doesn't seem worth living

Sitting learning how to read
Back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together now without you

You taught me how to live
To be myself
And how to give
Oh, and now it's you
Who's given up on giving

You lost the things, no one could teach
You changed and now you're out of reach
And life tonight, ooh life tonight, doesn't seem worth living
