Verse
A D
She was the love of mine
E A F#m
And I held her hand in mine
B E D
She has the mercy like the rising of the sea
A D E
She opened my eyes to wonder
A F#m
In my wandering eyes I held her
B E Dadd9 C
In this moment her soul became a part of me
[Chorus]

Mother of mine
D E
You are the light that always shines
F#m D Cadd9 E
Into the world you let me see
[Verse 2]
A D E
She was the love of mine and we
A F#m
We had the best of times
B
We watched the ships sail
E Dadd9 C
At the fading of the day
A D
She wore the color green
E A F#m
And she talked of the things she'd seen
B
Now only love remains
E Dadd9 C
When all has come and gone
[Chorus]
E A
Mother of mine
D E
You are the light that always shines
F#m D Dadd9 C
Into the world you let me see
E A
Mother of mine
D E
You are the light that always shines
F#m D Dadd9 C
Now I carry you as you carried me
[Outro]
A D
She was the love of mine
E A
And I held her hand in mine
