Couplet 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
Ooooh
But You
Loved me better

Couplet 2

My father beside me
Holds out his arm to guide me
His wisdom waits in silence
He speaks and I grow quiet
Ooooh
But You
Loved me better

Refrain 1

And there may come a day
When all other
Loves have gone away
Ooooh ooooh
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

Couplet 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 ooooh
But You have loved me better

Refrain 1

And there may come a day
When all other
Loves have gone away
Ooooh ooooh
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

Refrain 2

And there will come a day
When the loves
We've lost will all be raised
Ooooh oooh
And we will sing a song
Of the One whose loved us
All along
The weary world will finally
Find her rest
