Here Alone Lyrics - Little Women Soundtrack

Marmee

Write a letter
Be inventive
Tell you everything is fine
Be attentive to the distance
Send my love with every line
Every word should bring you closer
And caress you with its tone
Nothing should remind you
That I am here alone

I can't tell you how I'm feeling
I can't talk about the war
Or how the pealing of the church bells
Brings the battle to our door
I don't know which part is harder
What I know or what's unknown
Or raising little women
When I am here alone

Counting days
Praying for news
Is this
The life
We meant to choose

Do you know how much I miss you
At this hour of the day
How I wish you were the twilight
Come to take my fears away
Can I manage four young women
I'm not certain I know how
Will I be there when they need me
Do I fail them even now
I wish that you were with me
Wish that I could bring you home
The night seems so much longer
Now that I am here alone
