TRUE COMPANION

Baby I've been searching like everybody else

Can't say nothing different about myself

Sometimes I'm an angel

And sometimes I'm cruel

And when it comes to love

I'm just another fool

Yes I'll climb a mountain

I'm gonna swim the sea

There ain't no act of God girl

Could keep you safe from me

My arms are reaching out

Out across this canyon

I'm asking you to be my true companion

True companion

True companion

So don't you dare try to walk away

I've got my heart set on our wedding day

I've got this vision of a girl in white

Made my decision that it's you alright

And when I take your hand

I'll watch my heart set sail

I'll take my trembling fingers

And lift up your veil

Then I'll take you home

And with wild abandon

Make love to you just like a true companion

You are my true companion

I got a true companion

True companion

When the years have done

Irreparable harm

I can see us walking slowly arm in arm

Just like that couple on the corner of do

'Cause girl I will always be in love with you

And when I look in your eyes

I'll still see that spark

Until the shadows fall

Until the room grows dark

Then when I leave this Earth

I'll be with the angels standin'

I'll be out there waiting

for my true companion

True companion

True companion
