May You Never Be Alone
Wanda Jackson · Love Me Forever [1963]
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
In the Bible, God's own words to say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
Now I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me
May you never be alone like me
May You Never Be Alone
