Here Alone (from Little Women: The Musical) piano leadsheet with chords

Write a letter;

be inventive.

Tell you ev'rything is fine.

Be attentive to the distance.

Send my love with ev'ry line.

Ev'ry word should bring you closer and caress you with its tone.

or Nothing should remind you

that I am here alone.

I can't tell you what I'm feeling.

I can't talk about the war;

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 un its known,

or raising little women

when I am here alone.

I can't lone.

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.
