may you never

eric clapton

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 hit in a barroom fight. may you never lose your woman overnight. well

you're just like a great

strong sister to me

and i know that your love is true

and you hold no blade for to stab me in my back;

i know that there's some that do. so please

won't you please

won't you bear it in mind: love is a lesson to learn in our time. please

won't you please

bear it in mind for me. well

you're just like a great

strong brother to me

and i know that your love is true

and you never talk dirty behind my back;

i know that there's some that do. may you never lose your woman overnight. may you never lose your woman overnight.
