PEGGY LEE
- It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone Lyrics / with translationsI 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
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
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
