—Flatt & Scruggs
I tried to sail the sea of life,
I rode my boat alone
Your love meant nothin' to me dear,
my heart was made of stone
Til the harbor filled with loneliness
my little boat was moored
And on the day I first met you
I fell right overboard
Chorus:
Til the end of the world goes round
I'll keep on loving you
As long as the sun
comes up and comes down
and the big blue sky
comes down to the ground
As long as the world goes
round and round
I'll keep on loving you
Whenever you're around me dear
my heart just won't keep still
And when it comes to kissin' you
I'll never get my fill
They said I'd never settle down,
that I would always roam
I could never be the kind
for a lovin' wife and home
So now I know the way I felt
was only selfish pride
I thought my heart was fireproof
but you burned your way inside
Now tell me what I've got to do
and tell me how it stands
The cards are on the table dear,
my life is in your hands
