True Love (High Society) Lyrics and Sheet Music

Suntanned, windblown

Honeymooners at last alone

Feeling far above par

Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me

True love, true love

So on and on it will always be

True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel

On high, with nothing to do

But to give to you and to give to me

Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel

On high, with nothin' to do

But to give to you and to give to me

Love forever true

Love forever true

"True Love" is a popular song written by Cole Porter and was published in 1956.
