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

There is one who's smiling face the gods would see

For she'll walk along beside me up the 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 see her love turn into sympathy

It's the one regret I 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 fond caress

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



I thought I would make her happy if I stepped 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."
