Barry Manilow - In Another World Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

[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

[Chorus: x 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[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

[Chorus: x 2]
This is the first time on my own-acap
