may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
you're just like a great strong brother to me
and you know i love you like i should
and you never talk dirty behind my back
and i know that there's times you could
oh please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
now please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind for me
may you never lose your temper
if you get in a bar-room fight
may you never lose your woman overnight
you're just like a good close brother to me
and you know i love you like i should
and you hold no knife to stab me in the back
and i know there's those that would
oh please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
now please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind for me
may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
may you never lose your temper
if you get in a bar-room fight
may you never lose your woman overnight
