If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares There is one who's smiling face the Gods would see 'Cause she'll walk along beside me up to golden stairs Oh they'll never never take her love from me What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave And to see her love turn into sympathy It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave Oh they'll never never take her love from me I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness That we shared together in the used to be Someone else's arms may hold her now in uncaress But they'll never never take her love from me I thought I'd make her happy if I'd step aside But I knew her love would never set me free And even on the morning she became another's bride I said they'll never never take her love from me
