May You Never Songtext

von David Knopfler

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 of mine and you know that I love you true
You never talk dirty behind my back and I know there's those that would
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson learned in our time
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

You're just like a big close sister of mine, you know that I love you true
You've never pulled a blade behind my back and I know there's those that do
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson learned in our time
Please, won't you please, won't you bear it mind for me

May you never lose your temper if you get in a barroom fight
May you never lose your woman overnight

You're just like a great strong brother of mine and you know that I love you true
You're never badmouthin' me behind my back and I know there's those that would
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson learned in our time
Please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me

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 barroom fight
May you never lose your woman overnight

May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
