My Love

from Dark Path by Isobel Anderson

/

lyrics

Long long ago I fell in love,
A handsomer man there never was,
And he was as gentle as a white dove,
Oh love, my love.

Right from the start I let him in,
I knew all along how much I loved him,
And really you know there is no better thing,
Than love, my love.

We'd be together most every day,
And how I would miss him when he went away,
I'd stare out my window and softly I'd say,
Oh love, my love.

Day turned to months and months turned to years,
I'd say "love I'm happy as long as you're near",
He'd tell me that there was nothing to fear,
"Oh love, my love".

We had a house, oh we had a life,
A white picket fence and a sharp kitchen knife,
A small picture frame showing off our nice life,
Oh love, my love.

He'd read to me as I fell asleep,
And I'd sing him lullabies quietly,
I'd always wake first then him after me,
Oh love, my love.

One morning I found my love in our bed,
Lying next to me as if he were dead,
But his breathing was steady and his cheeks they were red,
Oh love, my love.

And still he lies there peaceful and still,
A beautiful memory with which to fill,
The emptiness left and the time left to fill,
Oh love, my love.
