{editor's note: there has been some confusion over whether this song is

"This Was My Love" or "This Is My Love". The BMI database lists the song

both ways, with the same author. Methinks someone may have 'bent' the

song at some point to suit their own whims.}





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!
