May I Never Love Again

< instrumental opening >

May I never see the sun go down,
may I never feel the falling rain.
If the love that I declare
isn't all that's right and fair . . .
may I never, may I never love again!

May I never see the blue of the sky,
nor the moon an' stars down lovers lane.
May I never live a day
if I don't mean what I say . . .
may I never, may I never love again!

Sweetheart, when I'm with you,
I'm not a foolish pretender.
Sweetheart, if you love me too,
All I possess I surrender . . .

May I never feel your tender lips,
may you never take my love in vain.
You're the answer to my prayer
but if your love isn't there . . .
may I never . . . No, I'll never love again!

< instrumental break >

Sweetheart, when I'm with you,
I'm not a foolish pretender.
Sweetheart, if you love me too,
All I possess I surrender . . .

May I never feel your tender lips,
may you never take my love in vain.
You're the answer to my prayer
but if your love isn't there . . .
may I never . . . never . . .
No, I'll never, never love again!
