They`ll Never Take His Love From Me Lyrics

(Leon Payne)
  
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
