The Shadow Of Your Love Song Lyrics

By Charlie Gregg. Charlie wrote this after his Irish Grandmother died then finished it after his Mother passed away. Well done Charlie, it's a lovely tribute.

This is the day that I hoped would never come along
                                                          
This is the day when I knew life would prove me wrong
                                                        
I’m gonna have to be a man but I’d love to hold you’re hand
                                                             
Like I used to in those days when I was young
                                                                  
I see you’re face although you’re not here in front of me
                                                             
I know to well that it’s only from a good memory
                                                  
Though I see you so clear still I wish you were here
                                                                 
To hold me close while the world goes on around me
(Bridge)
                                                                          

I’m in the shadow of you’re love which is where I want to be
                                                                                       
Until you take me up above where we’ll know that perfect peace
                                                           
Now as I stand and I watch you leave me finally
                                                           
And as a tear so cold is rolling down my cheek
                                                                            
My thoughts are firmly on those days when you’d run and watch me play
                                                                           
And though you’d smile you would always worry about me
                                                          
So goodbye for now but I know we will meet again
                                                              
In a better place without worry and that’s free from pain
                                                  
I know I never will forget and I’m forever in your debt
                                                  
A Mothers love will go on and on eternally
(Bridge then repeat 1st verse)
