Lyrics for Song: May You Never Be Alone
Lyrics for Album: Confessions of a Broken Man (RCA Victor) [1966]
(Hank Williams)
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and oh, so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
may you never be alone like me.
I believed the lies you told to me
when you whispered, dear, I worship thee
Now here am I alone and blue
All because I loved no one but you.
--- Instrumental ---
I gave up my friends, I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
Now you're gone, our love can never be
May you never be alone like me.
In the Bible God's own words do say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
And I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me...

May You Never Be Alone
Porter Wagoner's 'May You Never Be Alone' stands as a defining track from his 1966 album 'Confessions of a Broken Man.' Recorded during the height of his partnership with Dolly Parton, the song exemplifies the honky-tonk and country ballad styles that characterized their collaborative era. The recording captures the raw emotional depth and vocal power that made their duets legendary, blending traditional country instrumentation with a narrative of enduring love and resilience. Released on RCA Victor, this work remains a staple of Porter Wagoner's discography, reflecting the genre's focus on personal storytelling and heartfelt melodies that resonated deeply with audiences throughout the late 1960s. |
