Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die.
|
And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you,
|
¡®Cause the world is rosier
|
through your eyes.
|
|
I don't suppose you caught her name.
|
Never mind I'll just name her after you, love of mine.
|
I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon making all praise holier.
|
Satisfied.
|
|
Oh, but she gave us to each other.
|
The only thing she's done for me that you could never do.
|
For that she'll always be remembered.
|
After she discovers I don't love her half as much as you.
|
|
Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay,
|
here with me.
|
|
Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you'll never live.
|
Even as I curse the girl who says she'll find someone worthier of the gift.
|
Someone who wants to share it with her,
|
far away from those who take you to have and to hold.
|
Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember,
|
for all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored.
|
It's my love I adored.
|
|
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die.
