She Was the Love of Mine - Colin Hay

She was the love of mine

And I held her hand in mine

She has the mercy like the rising of the sea

She opened my eyes to wonder

In my wandering eyes I held her

In this moment her soul became a part of me

Mother of mine

You are the light that always shines

Into the world you let me see

She was the love of mine and we

We had the best of times

We watched the ships sail

At the fading of the day

She wore the color green

And she talked of the things she’d seen

Now only love remains

When all has come and gone

Mother of mine

You are the light that always shines

Into the world you let me see

Mother of mine

You are the light that always shines

Now I carry you as you carried me

She was the love of mine

And I held her hand in mine
