Barry Manilow In Another World lyrics

This is the first time on my own
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall

Far away, I can here the city screams
Drift away, I can be beside you in my dreams

In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world

I have no stronghold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go, I end up chasing sleep again

Drift away, wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly

In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing

I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world

And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind

In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world

In another world, I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world, but not in this world

This is the first time on my own
This is the first time, I've ever been alone like this
