Blue Velvet Don't Let Me Die Alone lyrics

Blue Velvet
We're Proud
Don't Let Me Die Alone
A dying man recounts the life he lived
For so many years
As he looks back now he's overcome
With sorrow and tears
The wife and the kids he walked out on
Are no where to be found
And he prays they'll forgive him
Before he's layed beneath the ground

He led a life filled with success
Money and prestige
Never spending time with his 3 kids
And wife with many needs
She grew tired of second place
So he packed up to leave
Now in his final hours his prayers
Are so filled with grief

{Chorus}
And he cried Lord,
Forgive me of my past
For I have lived a life
Filled with things that just don't last
Just one request

Before you take me home
Please dear Lord
Don't let me die alone

He's in the final stages now
His life is fading from him fast
Soon he will find that
God has answered him at last
By his bed
His wife and children now stand
As he bids them all farewell
He takes the Savior's hand

And he cried
Thank you dear Lord
Now I can die in peace
My last prayer you have heard
Your answer is here
Standing by me
Now I can go home
For I won't die alone

I should've known
You wouldn't let me die alone
