Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

My First Night Alone Without You

There is an aching in my head

From the bed I can't get used to

It's these little hours in the dark, I dread

As I spend my first night alone without you

Honey, half of me has gone away

With all the love I learned to cling to

Tomorrow I'll have to find another way

To live the rest of my life alone without you

You taught me how to live

How to be myself

And how to give

Oh, but now it's you

Who's given up on giving

You've lost the thing, no one to teach

Changing and now you're out of reach

And my life tonight just don't seem worth living

No, no

I've been sitting learning how to read

Cause back in school I never liked to

It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need

As I put my life together, baby, without you
