She is my treasure, as God is above
The lady in my life, my own first sweet love
She is my mother, she is my joy
Though age takes its measure, I'm still her darling boy
When I went away, I swore that I'd be back some day
Show riches and my mountain of success
But times were hard on me and all I had was poverty
And lessons from the school called life from her
She is my treasure, as God is above
The lady in my life, my own first sweet love
She is my mother, she is my joy
Though age takes its measure, I'm still her darling boy
A letter came one afternoon, to say that I must go back soon
Fore the angels come to take her home
But God was good and gave me time, to see my darling lady smile
And brush away the years that I had lost
She is my treasure, as God is above
The lady in my life, my own first sweet love
She is my mother, she is my joy
Though age takes its measure, I'm still her darling boy
Though age takes its measure
She is my treasure and I'm her darling boy
