©1978 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on The Gates of Love

"I wrote this for my first wife, Laurie. She wasn't that impressed, until she heard the recorded version. "I like it with the harmonica." Sigh.
AIN'T NO ONE
(Andrew Calhoun)
Chorus:
Ain't no one could love you like I love you
Ain't no one could love you like I do
Ain't no one could love you like I love you
Ain't no one could love you like I do
I have seen the morning and the mountain
I have seen the flowers and the sea
Seen the sun going over the ocean
Seen you lying down by me
Chorus
You have seen tomorrow in your mother
You've seen pain in your father's hand
You went searching for another
Crying, "come, and understand."
Chorus
If I had a million dollars
Take you to the Riviera and races and the zoo
If I had a million dollars
It still wouldn't make any difference to you
Chorus
Miles from the crying border
Miles from the starving sea
Stands a house of brick and mortar
I have built for you and me
I love you more than my father and my mother
Seen my destiny in your eye
I love you more than my sister and my brother
I love you more than the time gone by
Chorus"
