Love Of Mine Lyrics - Dotted Line - Nickel Creek

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
