She Was The Love Of Mine Lyrics - 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
