Words & Music by Manos Hadjidakis & Arthur Altman
Recorded by Brenda Lee, 1962 (#3)



      Em      C        D            Bm
All alone am I ever since your goodbye,

       C        Am7                 B7
All alone with just the beat of my heart;

        Em     C                D       Bm
People all around but I don't hear a sound, 

         Am7      D7            G   Am7  G   G/F#
Just the lonely beating of my heart.


Bridge:

Em        B+            Em7    Em6
No use in holding other hands, 

Em          C              B7
For I'd be holding only emptiness;

Em         B+           Em7   Em6
No use in kissing other lips,

Em          C                B7
For I'd be thinking just of your caress.


All alone am I ever since your goodbye,
All alone with just a beat of my heart;
People all around but I don't hear a sound, 
Just the lonely beating of my heart.

Bridge 2:

Em        B+               Em7    Em6
No other voice can say the words

Em             C            B7
My heart must hear to ever sing again

Em            B+              Em7    Em6
The words you used to whisper low

Em         C            D
No other love can ever bring again.


All alone am I ever since your goodbye,
All alone with just a beat of my heart;
People all around but I don't hear a sound, 
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
