It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone - Eydie Gorme

I leave the house, I catch the bus
And go to work the way I did before
The same routine most everyday
Except I guess I see my folks much more


A year has passed, I thought by now
That I could make a new life of my own
But habits are so hard to break
I think of you and I still ache
It takes too long to learn to live alone


It's really bad when Friday comes
Because I know the weekend lies ahead
The walks we took, the football games
And when it rained, how late we stayed in bed


I've done so much to change the house
The attic's full of memories I've known
And yet when I turn out the light
I wait for you to say 'goodnight'
It takes too long to learn to live alone


I go on dates, but when I do
I always find before the night is through
The same old thing behind my smile
I'm sitting there comparing him to you


And in the end it's always you
I feel it even more when I get home
I thought that I was free of you
But I was wrong, I never knew
It takes too long to learn to live alone


And in the end it's always you
I feel it even more when I get home
I thought that I was free of you
Oh, but I was wrong, I never knew
It takes too long to learn to live alone


I'm alone

This reminds me of my guitarist (3rd best axeman in our town) friend in Pinas. Tuwing nasa inuman hindi niya makalimutan kantahin ito. broken-hearted kaya siya? I didn't know, let alone the meaning of lyrics of this song then . Or, maybe he just like the song and sings it with no special personal reason. It's simply hard to form some conclusion

Mel Torme recorded this in 1974, and E. Gorme in 1976, so logically Eydie was not the original artist, though Torme's version is the obscure one.

Hell yeah...I'm sure it takes to long to learn to live alone, but for me...maybe no chance for me to learn because I can not survive without him. Very nice lyrics....I love it. Nice posting...
