Nothing Can Change This Love
Sam Cooke · One Night Stand - Sam Cooke Live At The HSC, 1963 [2005]
I'd write a letter, each and every day
'Cause honey, nothing,
Nothing can ever change this love I have for you
Make me weep and you can make me cry
See me comin' and you can pass me by
But honey, nothing
nothing can ever change this love I have for you
You're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie
and oh yeah, you're cake and ice cream
You re sugar and spice and everything nice
You re the girl of my dreams
But if you wanted to leave me and roam
When you get back, I'd just say "Welcome Home"
'cause honey nothing, nothing
can ever change this love I have for you
