Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"They'll Never Take His Love from Me"

(Leon Payne)

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face the Gods would see
'Cause he'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never ever take his love from me.

I thought I'd make him happy if I'd step 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 ever take her love from me.

--- Instrumental ---

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 uncaress
But they'll never ever take his love from me.

What a fool I was to go and break the trust he gave
And to see his love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to to my grave
Oh, they'll never ever take his love from me.

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