Some songs don’t just tell a story—they pull you into a moment so intimate, so raw, that you feel like you’re living it. Alone Together Tonight is one of those songs. It’s not just about two people sharing the same space—it’s about the quiet ache that lingers between them, the words left unsaid, and the love that still flickers, even when everything else feels like it’s slipping away.
This is a song for the couples who know what it’s like to sit across from each other at the dinner table, the candlelight casting soft shadows, but feeling miles apart. It’s for those stolen glances that hold too much history and not enough hope. The kind of night where you’re together, but loneliness still creeps in between the silences.
The beauty of Alone Together Tonight lies in its gentle heartbreak. The melody carries a warmth that contrasts with the sadness woven into the lyrics, making it a song that tugs at the heartstrings while still wrapping you in a familiar embrace. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t always fade in a dramatic, crashing wave—it sometimes lingers in the quiet, in the echoes of what once was, in the way two people can still reach for each other even when they’re drifting apart.
Maybe that’s why this song stays with you long after the last note fades. Because we’ve all been there at some point—alone, together, holding onto something that still matters, even when we’re not sure how to save it

Lyrics
Pull up a chair and talk to me
I could use some company
Funny I should see you here
Could I buy you a beer?
No, I’m not with him anymore
He walked out, I slammed the door
What’s that you say, she left you blue
I guess that means you’re lonely too
But lonely is a state of mind
You’re not alone if you can find
Someone to tell your troubles to
I’d like to share a few with you
Now look at us, ain’t we a sight
They did us wrong and that ain’t right
Now don’t think any less of me
But maybe we could be alone together tonight
I guess that we could take a chance
After all it’s just one dance
We’ve got nothing else to do
We’re just a pair of lonely fools
Lonely’s just a state of mind
You’re not alone if you can find
Someone to tell your troubles to
I’d like to share a few with you
Now look at us, ain’t we a sight
They did us wrong and that ain’t right
Now don’t think any less of me
But maybe we could be alone together tonight
Now don’t think any less of me
But maybe we could be alone together tonight
