Woke up smiling just to fake the day
Put on lipstick, brushed the clouds away
But in the mirror, I can see it clear
The laugh lines hide a trace of every tear
All alone am I, though I walk through the crowd
With my head held high, but my heart cries out loud
Dancing to the beat, in a dress that shines
But nobody sees this lonely heart of mine
Used to hold your hand down at Maple Lane
Now I window-shop through a memory's pane
Smiles are plenty, but they fade so fast
Like the promises we swore would always last
All alone am I, though the music plays
I pretend I'm fine in a hundred ways
Laughing with the world, but it's just a show
Inside I'm wishing you still didn't go
All alone am I, still I dance and sway
In this world of light, love has lost its way
Twirl across the floor with an empty sigh
Wearing vintage dreams, while I wonder why
All alone am I, though the spotlight glows
Every song I sing, every smile I pose
Still I close my eyes, let the tears slip by
One more lonely star in the midnight sky
