This was written by the songwriting team of Don and Dick Addrisi. As The Addrisi Brothers, they went on to have hits with “We’ve Got To Get It On Again” and “Slow Dancin’ Don’t Turn Me On.”
Unlike “Cherish,” which is often thought of as a love song but deals with the unrequited, slightly obsessive kind, “Never My Love” is a perfect wedding song, as it is about unrelenting devotion: “How can you think love will end when I’ve asked you to spend your whole life with me?”

You ask me if there’ll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)
Never my love
Never my love
You say you fear I’ll change my mind
And I won’t require you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end
When I’ve asked you to spend your whole life
With me (with me, with me)
Happy Birthday, Barbara Walters
