Song No. 11  "I'll Walk Alone"
Music by Jule Styne
Lyrics by Sammy Cahn
"I'll Walk Alone" was originally made famous by Dinah Shore. The song
is from the film "Follow the Boys" (1944). It received the Academy Award
nomination for best song in 1944.
Many also recall the song from the 1952 film, "With A Song In My Heart".
This was the story of singer Jane Froman. Froman was portrayed by
Susan Hayward .Hayward dubbed Jane's songs for the film. "I'll Walk
Alone" was "sung" by Susan during a very poignant moment in the film when a young shell-shot soldier (played by Robert Wagner) asked Jane (Susan) to
sing the song. It was one of the most touching and memorable moments of the film.
Lyrics

I'll Walk Alone because to tell you the truth, I'll be lonely
I don't mind being lonely
When my heart tells me you
Are lonely too

I'll Walk Alone, they'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather
There are dreams I must gather
Dreams we fashioned the night
You held me tight

I'll always be near you,wherever you are
Each night..in every prayer
If you call, I'll hear you
No matter how far
Just close your eyes and I'll be there

Please walk alone and send your love and your kisses to guide me
Till your're walking beside me
I'll Walk Alone..
