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
