Nickel Creek
Love of Mine
[Verse 1: Chris Thile]
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die
And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you
Cause the world is rosier
Through your eyes
I don't suppose you caught her name

[Verse 2: Thile/Thile & Sean Watkins]
Nevermind I'll just name her after you, love of mine
I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon
Making all praise holier
Satisfied

[Chorus 1: Thile, Sean Watkins & Sara Watkins/Thile]
Oh, but she gave us to each other
The only thing she's done for me that you could never do
For that she'll always be remembered
After she discovers I don't love her half as much as you

[Interlude: Thile]
Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay, here with me

[Verse 3: Thile/Thile & Sean Watkins/Thile, Sean Watkins & Sara Watkins]
Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you never lived
Even as I curse the girl who says she'll
Find someone worthier
Of the gift
[Chorus 2: Thile, Sean Watkins & Sara Watkins/Thile]
Someone who wants to share it with her
Far away from those who take it to have and to hold
Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember
For all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored
It's my love I adore

[Outro: Thile]
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die
