To Be Alone

Bill Anderson · My Life/But You Know I Love You [Decca] [1969]

(Billy Vaughn)



(To be alone) to be alone

(With just a memory) with just a memory

This is my destiny to be alone

(You left me here) you left me here

(With just these walls to see) with just these walls to see

I know you meant for me to be alone.



You left me to be alone

But there's one thing that you didn't count on

Something far beyond your imagination

I knelt and I prayed

And I recieved a much

Much deeper consolation.



And now I share a greater love

You see it's not so bad for me to be alone

With my head bowed down on my knees

I prayed and I cried

And He dried my tears

And He promised me

That He'd forever be at my side.



He'll be my friend beyond eternity

It doesn't worry me to be alone...
