Never Alone
Jim Brickman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone
May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you




Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Jim Brickman...there needs to a remake of this song for what our world is going through right now! So true in this present time. Thank you for the gift this song keeps giving!

@michaelalexander8940

Listening to all the songs on Jim Brickman's YouTube channel, & I'm so astounded at the quality of writing. It is absolutely 1st class. I saw Jim Brickman live at Berkley School of Music in 1997, I believe. I can not believe this is my first day on his YouTube channel, so, now I'm playing catch up. What an amazing find!

@jimbrickman

Thanks so much, so glad you're enjoying, there's lots to explore!

@mugsysmom62

Definitely! I love him

@nancyo8332

My dear friend has been recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and this song recites my exact feelings and wish I could play this for him. Tears flowing endlessly because I won't be able to say my goodbyes Love you Nancy

@samuelpike1248

I'd agree Doug. One of my favorite Jim Brickman songs. If you guys have never seen him live, you should. I've seen him in concert 3 times.

@thisisajang

This song always gives me the silly little grin every time I listening to it
