There is one whose smiling face the gods would see
 'Cause he'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs
 Oh, they'll never take his love from me
 Well, I thought I'd make him happy if I stepped aside
 But I knew his love would never set me free
 And even on the day he took another to be his bride
 I said they'll never take his 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 him now in fond caress
 But they'll never, never take his love from me

 What a fool I was to go break the trust he gave
 And to see his love turn into sympathy
 It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
 Oh, they'll never, ever take his love from me
