[01:15.06
[00:14.28]Love of mine, when you're born
[00:17.64]I tell myself that you'll never die
[00:24.67]
[00:26.31]And I throw my arms
[00:28.50]Around the girl who finds you,
[00:31.73]'Cause the world is rosier
[00:38.67]Through your eyes
[00:42.61]
[00:44.19]I don't suppose you caught her name?
[00:50.95]
[00:52.27]Never mind; I'll just name her
[00:56.47]After you, love of mine
[01:04.08]And fashion her into
[01:06.78]A sweet, long-legged icon,
[01:10.19]Making our prayers holier
[01:16.88]Satisfied, love, that she gave us to each other
[01:29.25]The only thing she's done for me
[01:32.98]That you could never do
[01:38.38]And for it, she'll always be remembered
[01:45.19]After she discovers I don't love her
[01:49.61]Half as much as you
[01:53.00]
[01:59.53]Love of mine, when she goes,
[02:03.06]Why can't you stay here with me?
[02:09.58]
[02:34.44]Love of mine, when you die
[02:37.88]I tell myself that you never lived
[02:47.30]Even as I curse the girl
[02:50.58]Who says she'll find someone worthier
[02:59.05]Of the gift
[03:03.48]
[03:04.50]Someone who wants to share it with her,
[03:11.56]Far away from those who take it to have and to hoard
[03:20.66]Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember;
[03:27.30]For all these pretty words
[03:29.59]It wasn't her, but love that I adored
[03:38.09]It's my love I adore
[03:43.30]
[04:23.71]Love of mine, when you're born
[04:26.94]I tell myself that you'll never die
[04:33.73]
