Once upon a time An angel did what's right And took you far from Heaven into the night And God knew what to do 'Cause when he created you He made the light All night long in wandering roads So many miles from her home Well, I showed you I was only flesh and bone An angel I won't be For long or so it seems When we're alone Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby And you lift that long black veil, you're not alone I would take your tiny hand in mine Just to help you understand that you're not alone Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, you're not alone I need your loving, baby, I'm alone I'm a refugee, honey, I am lost without a home I need your sanctuary, I'm all alone You don't have to run and hide You don't have to say goodbye The night is yours and you are mine The devil will be our alibi He will watch our tears dry Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby And you lift your long black veil, you're not alone I would put a ring upon your finger, baby To make you understand that you're not alone If you only knew what I could do To get you back here, baby To help you make it through I ain't no marble statue, darling But my heart has turned to stone Because when you draw that heavy curtain And you lift your long black veil, you're not alone Oh baby, you're not alone
