Elvis Costello - They'll Never Take Her lyrics

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares There is one who's smiling face the gods would see For she'll walk along beside me up the golden stairs Oh, they'll never, never take her love from me What a fool i was to go and break the trust she gave And see her love turn into sympathy It's the one regret i carry with me to my grave Oh, they'll never, never take her love from me 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 her now in fond caress But, they'll never, never take her love from me I thought i would make her happy if i stepped aside But i knew her love would never set me free And even on the morning she became another's bride I said, "they'll never, never take her love from me."
