Love Me
Waylon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is one smiling face the gods would see
'Cause she'll walk along beside me up the golden stairs
No, they'll never never take her love from me.
What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
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 her 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.
"They'll Never Take Her Love From Me" by Waylon Jennings is a love ballad with a deep sense of longing and regret. The lyrics of the song talk about a man who broke his partner's trust and saw her love for him turning into sympathy. He regrets his actions and is resigned to the fact that she may now be with someone else. Nevertheless, he is grateful for the time they spent together and knows that her love will never leave him.
The first lines of the song paint a picture of a man who has lost all hope, but one person's presence still makes him happy. He knows that this person will always remain by his side, no matter what. As the song progresses, he talks about how he was foolish to break the trust of his partner, and now he regrets his actions. But he is grateful for the happy times they spent together and the memories he has of them. Although his partner may be with someone else, he knows that her love will always be with him.
The lyrics of the song are powerful and melancholic, and Waylon Jennings delivers them with deep emotion. The song is a classic example of the kind of country ballads that made Jennings one of the most iconic figures of the genre.

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
If I were to face misfortune or setbacks in life
There is one smiling face the gods would see
I take comfort in the fact that I have someone who loves me
'Cause she'll walk along beside me up the golden stairs
She'll be with me until the end of my days
No, they'll never never take her love from me.
No one can ever take away the love that we share
What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
I made a mistake in betraying her trust
And see her love turn into sympathy
Her love for me became an emotion that was more akin to pity
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
I'll always feel sorry for what I did and it will stay with me for the rest of my life
Oh, they'll never ever take her love from me.
Despite my mistakes, I know that she will always love me
I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
I cherish every moment of happiness we've shared together
That we shared together in the used to be
I look back fondly on the past when we were happy together
Someone else's arms may hold her now in fond caress
She may be with someone else now, but I know that she still cares for me
But they'll never never take her love from me.
No matter who she's with, I know that her love for me is unwavering
I thought I'd make her happy if I stepped aside
I believed that leaving her would make her happier
But I knew her love would never set me free
I realized that her love was so strong that it would always hold me back
And even on the morning she became another's bride
Even when she married someone else
I said they'll never never take her love from me.
I knew that no one could ever come between the love that we share

Masz piękny głos, seksowny i czarujący. No i przystojniak z Ciebie... Śpiewasz tak, że chcę jeszcze i jeszcze.... słuchać.

Just discovered Waylon. The Voice Netherlands came across my YouTube wall so I searched him and WOW! Your voice is amazing and the fact that you feel every word you sing comes from the heart moves me. I will be listening to more of your music. I think you should record a song with Celine Dion. Your voices would merge so well together. Look forward to hearing more. Bravo from
the USA....

Keer op keer als ik het hoor komt het intens binnen. Vooral deze uitvoering is zo mooi zo intens! Pure herkenning in de pijn, het gemis en het verdriet. Je kwetsbaarheid hierin maakt dat het zo tot diep in de ziel voelbaar is. Het helpt mij enorm in mijn helingsproces.. eindelijk mogen de tranen stromen. Het kleine meisje in mij huilt met je mee... <3
