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

There is one whose smiling face the gods would see

'cause he'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs

Oh, they'll never take his love from me

Well, i thought i'd make him happy if i stepped aside

But i knew his love would never set me free

And even on the day he took another to be his bride

I said they'll never take his 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 him now in fond caress

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



What a fool i was to go break the trust he gave

And to see his love turn into sympathy

It's the one regret i'll carry with me to my grave

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