They'll Never Take His Love from Me

Emmylou Harris · Blue Kentucky Girl [Rhino Records] [2004]

(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...
