The Garland Pool - Love Like Mary Lyrics

Lying alone in a king size bed
Your memory on my mind
25 years a blink and you're gone
Feel like I'm losing my mind
Your fingerprints
Decorate the surface of my life
Who would have guessed
That you'd be leaving me behind

Once upon a time
I had a love like Mary
A love like Mary
I got to love with my throttle open wide
A love like Mary

Why, oh why would the Lord take you
I ask it all the while
Bury me while I shake my head
And I put my God on trial
And the only thing that
Makes poor heart smile
Is to think of us
Reunited after a while

Once upon a time
I had a love like Mary
A love like Mary
I got to love with my throttle open wide
A love like Mary

Every tear that falls
Waters the seeds you've planted in my soul
I get to watch them grow
Care for them, watch them grow
Our children, watch them grow

Doo doot doot doot doo
Words cannot do justice
No picture can be framed

It's as if an awful fairy tale
Has unfolded before my eyes
A dragon from another realm
Away with my princess he flys
My only hope that
Jesus knows her name
He'll rescue her
And in His arms remain

Once upon a time
I had a love like Mary
A love like Mary
I got to love with my throttle open wide
A love like Mary

Doo doot doot doot doo
Words cannot do justice
No picture can be framed

A love like Mary
