you love me best

Lyrics

my mother, she holds me, when i'm weak, she consoles me, my troubles weigh on her mind, my tears fall down from her eyes, but you, you loved me better, my father, beside me, holds out his arm to guide me, his wisdom waits in silence, he speaks and i grow quiet, but you loved me better, and there may come a day, when all other loves have gone away, ooo-oo-oo-oo, when darkness hems me in, you'll be right where you have always been, closer than the heart within my chest, because you loved me best, the ring around my finger, to have and hold forever, it circles round like years that, we've walked through joys and tears, but you, but you have loved me better, and there may come a day, when all other loves have gone away, ooo-oo-oo-oo, when darkness hems me in, you'll be right where you have always been, closer than the heart within my chest, because you loved me best, and there will come a day, when the loves we've lost will all be raised, ooo-oo-oo-oo, and we will sing a song, of the one whose loved us all along, the weary world will finally find her rest, because you, you, you, you, have loved us best
