True Love
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love.
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true.
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true.
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true, love forever true...
