Lyrics

An oth er day has gone,

I I’m still all a lone

how could 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 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 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 — Visual Piano Sheet Music

162 people have learned this song

"You Are Not Alone" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of B, 64 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in the key of B major at a gentle 64 BPM, which sounds forgiving until you realize your hands are navigating twenty-two distinct chords — including chromatic detours like Gmaj7, Ab7, and Bbm7 that briefly pull you far from home.

Your left hand carries an octave bass pattern throughout, so start by drilling those octave jumps until they feel automatic and even.

Then learn the right-hand chord shapes in isolation, paying special attention to the minor-seventh voicings (C#m7, Ebm7, G#m7) since they cluster together in transitions and your fingers need to already know the shape before you arrive.

Practice the trickiest two-bar progressions in a slow loop — especially where dominant sevenths resolve unexpectedly — before playing full sections.

Keep your sustain pedal changes clean; at this tempo, muddy pedaling is instantly exposed.

This is the piece that will make seventh-chord movement feel like second nature to you.
