John Prine - They'll Never Take Her Love From Me lyrics

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares

There is still one smiling face the Gods would see

But she'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs

Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me

What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave

And watch 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 use to be

Someone else's arms may hold her now in fond caress

But they'll never, never take her love from me

Well, I though 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

Ending:

No, they'll never, never take her love from me
