Hi! If anyone has the lyrics to The Oakridge Boy's old song, "I'll Be True To
You" please send them my way because my cousin wants them for her wedding and
my friend's dad is about it die and she wants them, also. Thanks so much~

I remember a song of the same title sung by The Hollies this is how I
remember it:-

I'll be true to you, yes I will
I'll be true to you, yes I will
I never promised this to anyone before
But I'll be true to you yes I will.

Sometimes it seems oh so clear to me,
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the one I've waited for
So I'll be true to you yes I will

Yes I will

I used to hang around
With every girl in town
And love was just a game for having fun
But then I looked at you
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one.

I'll be true to you, yes I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfill
My heart is sure you're the one I've waited for
So I'll be true to you, yes I will

It is a few years since I heard it!! So there may be one or two
mistakes.

Actually, I think it was the Monkees, but I might be wrong.

Strange song for a wedding, as it is about unrequited love.

Song : I'll Be True To You
Artist : Oak Ridge Boys
Album : Greatest Hits

They met upon a blue moon
and they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love and out of school
and he was going so far far away

She said I'll be true to you
even though you don't want me to
And I'll be blue for you
even though you've asked me not to

Well the years drifted by them
as we all know they can
He found other women
but she refused other men

But as fate would have it
they met again
She was on a downhill slide
he was just sliding in

As he looked into her eyes that night
he never realized
The only real love in his life
was passing by

When he turned and left her there
his words goodbye
He heard her calling out to him
and as he walked she cried

I've been true to you
seems like speaking to me is the least that you could do
And I've been blue for you
even though you've asked me not to

She'd been drinking way too hard one night
she'd been drinking way too long
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel
she died there in the dawn

Kneeling by her grave
oh so late and oh so wrong
He longed to hold her close again
crying on and on

He cried I'll be true to you
after all that I have put you through
And I'll be blue for you
though you never even asked me to
