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 said my dear I worship Thee Now here am I alone and blue all because I loved no one but you [ steel ] 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 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
