I watch her breathing while she sleeps And then a feeling buries me I'd die to see her walk to me To smile in disbelief At the ground beneath her feet She cracks a smile and shows her teeth It's been a year, she looks like me And I'd die to teach her how to pray To give to God each day To know it when I say ♪ You'll never be alone You'll never be alone Even after all your innocence is gone You'll never be alone One day soon she'll say, "Daddy I love a boy and he loves me" And then she'll leave and then I'll pray And give to God that day And hope her heart is safe A few weeks later, she'll come home Crying that boy had let her go Said he wasn't ready yet to be The kind of man she needs So I hold her close and sing softly You'll never be alone You'll never be alone Even as your heart is breaking don't lose hope You'll never be alone, alone ♪ One day soon, she'll walk the aisle My little girl, my precious child A beautiful woman, veiled and sweet I'll smile in disbelief As the tears roll down my cheeks And I'll whisper softly You'll never be alone You'll never be alone Even after God calls both your parents home You'll never be alone, alone (You'll never be alone) (You'll never be alone)
