First Line: I gave my first love laughter
Last Line: Who gave my soul to me.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


I gave my first love laughter,
I gave my second tears,
I gave my third love silence
Through all the years.

My first love gave me singing,
My second eyes to see,
But oh, it was my third love
Who gave my soul to me.
