Song Information
In this song, Peyroux tells to her former lover she is "alright", despite all that has happened. She remembers how he used to make her laugh, how he sang Christmas songs in bed. The lyrics also recall how he made her cry on the day he got drunk and threw a few of her things around. However, throughout the song, she accepts that he is gone and eventually lets him know that she has been alone before and, therefore, she is, or will be, alright.
