Companion

[MandyNI0]

Well this is by Marc Cohn, and it makes me cry every time I listen to it. I think parts of this could be great for old wedding or Mr and Mrs pictures.

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 and 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 allright
And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll 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 the couple on the corner 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
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

Mandy! My dh and I were introduced to Marc Cohn and this particular album at the summer camp where we met when I was 16. You just brought back the best memories! I have this CD, I'll have to go find it now. I remember putting this song on a tape I made him when we were dating (yes, I said "tape", :eek: , I'm old!).

Awh Meg, this is classic stuff. I have Marc Cohn "albums" on CD :D and I'd recommend them to anyone, great classic music, well sung and perfectly played.

On a whim, several years back I bought this CD. I think it was before anyone knew who he was. I love, love love this song.
