Nickel Creek - Love of Mine lyrics

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 Nevermind 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 Although she gave us to each other The only thing she's done for me that you could never do For 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 never lived 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 it 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 adore Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die
