Eric Carmen - All by myself

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

Recordamos el 66 cumpleaños hoy del cantautor estadounidense Eric Carmen (Cleveland, Ohio, US, 11-8-1949) con All by myself,  composición propia basada en un Adagio de Rachmaninov que en 1975 supuso el primer y mayor éxito de su carrera como solista tras dejar el grupo The Raspberries. El single que lo contenia vendió más de un millón de copias y, desde entonces, la canción se ha convertido en un standard multiversionado.

All by myself (lyrics)

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself, don't want to be
All by myself anymore
All by myself, don't want to live
All by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
.....................................................
All by myself, don't want to be
All by myself anymore
All by myself, don't want to live
All by myself anymore
.....................................................
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself, don't want to be
All by myself anymore
All by myself, don't want to live
All by myself anymore
All by myself, don't want to be
All by myself anymore
All by myself, don't want to live
All by myself anymore
