may you never (single version)

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
