"My Love" - Sonny James

Sonny James - 'Capitol Collectors Series'. Capitol Nashville

Sonny James sings this beautiful song called "My Love" about how he never thought that love was for him, until he found his lady, and now he always thinks of her, and wants her. While most versions of this song have been more on the ballad side, Sonny kicks it up a notch, making this an uptempo song with a prominent guitar and percussion.
Romantic Lyric:
"My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh. My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky. My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above. And there is nothing in this world that could ever change my love."
