Cohn, Marc - True Companion Lyrics






Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel
But when it comes to love 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 a girl in white
Made my descision that its you alright
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 waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

    Today's our 30th Wedding Anniversary. "True Companion" pretty much sums it all up.
    I've always loved his expression of love in this song...restores my faith
    People are such jerks for giving the thumbs down to songs like this. They don't have a clue.

  2. G.... J....

    Cool song
    Today's our 30th Wedding Anniversary. "True Companion" pretty much sums it all up.

  3. V.... P....

    Today's our 30th Wedding Anniversary. "True Companion" pretty much sums it all up.
    I walked down the aisle to this..... amazing song

  4. e.... e....

    GASLIGHTING IS MEAN AND ILLEGAL
    WAR AND SO FORTH IS A REPERCUSSION OF SIN

  5. M.... L....

    my husband gave me this song as a declaration of love ..........late at night in the way back from moms......

  6. M.... ....

    This song is beautiful both lyrically and musically. Thus album of Marc Cohn's is one of the best albums I have ever heard. The whole album sparkles. The sound and
    Instrumental arrangements...and the quality of the recording. Each instrument just sparkles like individual jewels in sunlight...

  7. C.... L....

    This is the song my husband picked to have played during our wedding ceremony

  8. D.... H....

    My Wedding Song 1997

  9. T.... S....

    Not that I don't like the song, but I feel like you people must also think "Every Breath You Take" by the Police is a romantic song. this is kind of stalkery in my opinion.

  10. G.... E....

    Such a cleverly crafted song which is guaranteed to induce lachrymal secretions in the listener.

  11. M.... ....

    I've always loved his expression of love in this song...restores my faith

  12. E.... S....

    I can't even put into words what this song means to me. Someday, I'm going to play this song for my wife at our wedding. I don't care if it takes me until I'm on my death bed, I just want to find that one woman. I want to find that one person, flaws and all. Man! I'm telling ya'll, when I find that person, I'll never let her go! I can't wait! Some day!
    :-)

  13. E.... S....

    My husband proposed to me with this song playing 24 years ago. Still love it and him.

  22. C.... B....

    I'd no idea this was such a well known song. My wife and I had this played at our wedding too. Nearly 20 years ago now.

  23. S.... M....

    This was our first dance at our wedding 30 years ago. Unfortunately it didn't work out between us but we're friends again now. We both still look back on this song with love. and it brings the day flooding back.

  24. A.... H....

    This is our Wedding Song! Danced to this in 23 yrs ago. Even after all this time, I’m blessed that I found my True Companion. ❤️

    My wedding song in 1992. Proverbs 17:17, the words God Inspired King Solomon to write at Proverbs 17:17 “A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress.” 1961 New World Translation JW.org in 983 Languages 💙

    Boy, the days of no ads on You Tube are over. What a pain !

    J.... R....

    Lolololol

  28. J.... A....

    We had three secular songs that we played before our wedding: Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You", Bryan Adams' 'Robin Hood' song "Everything I Do (I Do for You)", and this ... Now, 30 years or so down the road, that "the years have done irreparable harm" to my sweet husband, it means so much more than before. Tom, you know "I will always be in love with you ..."

  29. R.... D....

    What Could I possible say except... Thank You

  30. F.... A....

    TRUE COMPANION MARC COHN.... I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS FOR OVER 26 YEARS AND IT STILL HAS THAT POWERFUL SENSE OF LOVE & DEVOTION IT'S OUT THERE FOR ALL OF US...!!!!

    It is absolutely impossible to listen to this song without tearing up

  35. S.... M....

    This song was the first dance between my wife and I at our wedding. We have grandchildren now.

  36. B.... H....

    Just reading along with the score and figuring out this song... Heck of a song... Might take a while to figure this one out but, hey, it's such a beautiful song that it will be worth the work... The last verse is so moving... "When years have done irreparable harm"... I understand that aspect of life... I'm there... But that's why I'm going to figure this song out musically...

  37. M.... T....

    Beautiful song. My late husband Joseph and i,our wedding song

    David congratulations, this is one of the most beautiful songs, I love it

  78. D.... B....

    My true companion died unexpectedly not long ago. As he died, angels were singing in his hospital room for two days, as he made his transition to the other side. The song the angels were singing when he died was "The Wedding Song" by Peter, Paul, and Mary. When I listen to the song "True Companion" the lyrics help sustain me through the overwhelming grief, particularly the part where Marc Cohn sings, "when I leave this earth I will be with angels standing waiting for my true companion". I hold onto these words and this thought as tightly as I can. Thank you Marc Cohn for the beautiful gift you have given to me. It means the world to me. I don't know how you have the wisdom and sensitivity you have, but I am grateful for it. Do you think anyone is ever lucky enough in life to have two true companions?

    D.... B....

    Donna Bowers so grateful to you for sharing
    Love never dies

    D.... B....

    love you donna

    D.... B....

    Your beloved may grace you with another. We can both hope. By his favorite trout stream, my love passed in my arms after fighting a four year battle with his illness.
    I know he watches over me.

    D.... B....

    People question why everything happens for a reason. We need to find that reason.

  79. M.... X....

    We are so in tune...made for one another.

  80. J.... R....

    Where do I find the translation of your song Jesse?

  81. C.... A....

    People are such jerks for giving the thumbs down to songs like this. They don't have a clue.

    C.... A....

    As a filmmaker and videographer, 8 have set photographs of a couples childhood at the beginning, love affair, first verse, wedding day second verse, when the line comes, "make love to you like a true companion" I put text up that says, "photo not available" I then use a clock transition to age the couple through the years, last verse, the are the couple on the corner. Truly the greatest 50th Anniversary song ever written.

  82. S.... ....

    D.....you are my true companion. xoxo
