Lyrics

An oth er day has gone,

I I’m still all a lone

how could far this be,

and you’re not here with me?

You ne ver said good bye,

your some one tell me why,

but did she have to go

then and leave my world so cold?

Ev ’ry (A6)day I sit and ask my self how (E)did this thing end?

(C#m7)Some thing whis pers in my ear and says.

You are not a lone

I I am here with you

though you’re me a way

and I am here to stay.

You You are not a lone,

your I am here with you,

but though we’re far a part

then you’re al ways in my heart.

Ev ’ry (A6)day I sit and ask my self how (E)did this thing end?

(C#m7)Some thing whis pers in my ear and says.

You are not a lone

but you are not a lone

(Gmaj7)lone,

lone,

why (Gmaj7)lone.

Just the oth er night

I thought I heard you cry

ask ing me to come

and hold you in my arms.

You I can hear your prayers,

your bur dens I will bear,

but first I need you here

then for ev er can be gin.

Ev ’ry (A6)day I sit and ask my self how (E)did this thing end?

(C#m7)Some thing whis pers in my ear and says.

You are not a lone

but you are not a lone

(Gmaj7)lone,

lone,

why (Gmaj7)lone.

Just the oth er night

but you are not a lone.

Whis per three (A)words then I’ll come (Em7)run ning,

I

and girl you (A)know that I’ll be (F#7sus4)there,

I’ll be (G7sus4)there.

(Db)You are not a lone,

I am here with you,

though you’re far a way,

I am here to stay,

but you are not a lone

but I am here with you,

though we’re far a part,

you’re al ways in my heart

but (Eb)you are not a lone

I am here with you,

though you’re far a way,

I am here to stay

but you are not a lone

but I am here with you,

though we’re far a part,

you’re al ways in my heart,

you are not a lone.

You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of B at 64 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
