Soft as a raindrop, fresh as the
sea
Warm as the sunshine shining on
me
This was my love, this was my
love
Light was her laughter, few were
her tears
Gentle her beauty, tender her
years
This was my love, this was my
love
So young, so fair, such bright
golden hair
A smile always on her face
No other love can ever compare
No other can take her place
Others may cherish fortune or
fame
I will forever cherish her name
For this was my love
This was my love!
