From the recording True Love Like No Other
Lyrics
TRUE LOVE LIKE NO OTHER
By Emily Higgins
Handsome, young Navy man
Back in World War II
He flew a blimp above the ships
Above the ocean blue
When the war was over
He threw a potter’s wheel
In an Ozark town where he found
A girl whose heart he’d steal
She knew he was the one for her
Before he said a word
She was dark-haired, tall and beautiful
She sang like a bird
They spent their days of courting
Driving country roads
Fishing on the Finley River
Listening to the toads
She thought that he loved her truly
So when he packed up and went away
She thought that it was over
Nothing more to say
CHORUS:
But then he called her up from Galveston
In 1948
He told her that he missed her and said,
“I hope I’m not too late”
They married in November
When he took her by the hand
And placed upon her finger
A simple wedding band
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
BRIDGE:
The man became my father
And the woman, my sweet mother
It always will remain for me
A true love like no other
REPEAT CHORUS:
Because he called up from Galveston
In 1948
And he told her that he missed her and said,
“I hope I’m not too late”
They married in November
When he took her by the hand
And placed upon her finger
A simple wedding band
When I look into the eyes
Of my sisters and my brother
I’ll always be reminded of
A true love like no other
Yes, I’ll always be reminded of
My father and my mother
