She Was the Love of Mine

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
