Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your heart's been left in the rain to rust
But you won't be lonely now
I see a long trail of tears in your eye
Back to the day when the innocence died
But you won't be lonely now
[Chorus]
I want to show you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely now
Holding you here like a rose in the dark
I make this promise to you from my heart
You won't be lonely now
[Chorus]
I want to give you everything you need
I want to show you
You won't be lonely now
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely
Now that you're here in my arms I'm alive
For the first time in a long time, I
Look at my face in the mirror and see
The man that I've wanted to be
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
I want to give you everything you need
I want to show you
You won't be lonely now
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely, now

Billy Ray has so many great songs, and it's such a shame he never gets the recognition he deserves. I remember when this came out 20 years ago, and listening to it now, I feel like it's a song that could've been a major hit during the 80's-90's power ballad era
