Lyrics:

{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!
