I'm Never Leavin' You
Charley Pride · Someone Loves You Honey [RCA Victor] [1978]
(Ben Peters)
If we go should live hill forever
I'll be there beside you while we do
I don't know how long we have to gather
I just know I'm never leaving you.
No matter where the road will be leading
or what kind are things we running to
Just as long as my heart keeps on beating
Darling, I am never leaving you.
We won't think about the bridges that we're burning
Hand in hand we'll cross the ones we're coming through
For as long as this world keeps on turning
Darling, I am never leaving you.
No darling, I am never leaving you...
If we go should live hill forever
I'll be there beside you while we do
I don't know how long we have to gather
I just know I'm never leaving you.
No matter where the road will be leading
or what kind are things we running to
Just as long as my heart keeps on beating
Darling, I am never leaving you.
We won't think about the bridges that we're burning
Hand in hand we'll cross the ones we're coming through
For as long as this world keeps on turning
Darling, I am never leaving you.
No darling, I am never leaving you...
