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 soft 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 forеver cherish her namе

This was my love, this was my love
