Never Leave You
Lucky Dube · Respect [2008]
Didn't know much about anything
The only thing we knew was this love
That we have for each other
You were the millionaire's daughter
I was the grave digger's son
They told me to keep away from you
They told you to stay away from me
Look at us now, we are living our dreams
Which goes to say, love is thicker than blood.
Love is thicker than blood.
Love is thicker than blood.
Take your time, take your time
Take your time don't hurry
We have all aternity ahead of us.
Chorus
I will never, I will never leave you.
No matter what happenes, no matter where life
Takes us, I will never leave you.
Take your time take your time love me
Take your time, we have all etrnity ahead of us.
You had a chance to be, with anyone you want
You chose to be with me.
Even though you knew, I had nothing to my name
You still love me
You were the millionaire's daughter
I was the grave digger's son,
They told me to keep away from you
They told you to stay away from me
Look at us now, we are living our dreams
Which goes to say, love is thicker than blood
Love is thicker than blood.
Take your time take your time
Take your time love me
We have all eternity ahead of us
Chorus
I will never, I will never leave you, I will never,
I will never leave you
No matter what happenes, No matter where life
Takes us, I will never leave you.
