Never Alone Again

Along a lonely road a minute before midnight
Drove a man on a mission to find his wife
He searched every house on every street,
Every club where they used to meet
But still no traces of his wife
That beautiful woman he’ll always like
The determined man set out the next day
Because he loved that lady in every way
He searched every place they’d been
But still she was nowhere to be seen
After a few days he had to go home
He’d have to spend the day alone
When he finally arrived
He was taken by surprise
As his wife ran up to him with teary eyes
He took her his arms and said “you’ll never be alone again”
