SWING WIDE YOUR GATE OF LOVE Writers Hank Thompson, S. Nathan Swing wide your gate of love, open wide up your heart I knew when I first met you that you'd be my sweetheart Swing wide your gate of love and please don't let me fall I know you're gonna love me after all (Chorus) Swing wide the gate and leave it open Towards the center of your heart I'll be bound And I'll mend the heart that has been broken I'm not the kind of guy to let you down So, swing wide your gate of love, open it for me For you are the one I want, my darlin', can't you see Make up your mind to like me and to be my turtledove I love you, so swing wide your gate of love (Repeat chorus) (Repeat last verse)
