Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Cant say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel
But when it comes to loving I'm just another fool
Yes I've climbed 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 you girl in white
Made my descisin that its you alrite
When I take your hand, I 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
Whoa 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 do
Cause girl I will always be in love with you
When I look in your eyes, I 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 standing
I'll be out there watiing for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion
