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 [ piano ] 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 I gave up my friends i left my home when you promised to be mine alone Now you're gone our love could never be may you never be alone like me [ fiddle ] In the bible god's own words to say for every wrong someday you'll pay I pray the lord to set me free may you never be alone like me
