Only Alive Lyrics - Roy Orbison

When you happened by my open eyes could see, 

My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached, 

I was full of life till you walked on by 

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 

And only alive. 

For a moment my heart began to beat, 

My puppet legs responded to your strings, 

And my shuffling feet started stepping high 

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 

And only alive.

For all the things worth living for 

Left me for someone new 

And all of those things I lost 

I was left condemned to a lonely life 

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 

And only alive.
