Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 (You loved me best) [Chorus 2] 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
