Elliott Smith - They'll Never Take Her Love from Me (Hank Williams Jr. cover) lyrics

If the sun should set tonight on all my hopes and cares There is one whose smiling face the gods would see Because she'll walk along beside me up the golden stairs They'll never, never take her love from me What a fool I was to go break the trust she gave And to see her love turn into sympathy It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave They'll never, ever take her love from me I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness That we shared together in the used to be Even though another's arms are now in fond caress But they'll never, never take her love from me I thought I'd 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
