http://www.lyricstime.com/kathy-mattea-i-wear-your-love-lyrics.html

The things I've collected bought or selected
The clutter that fills up my rooms
I can lock up and leave it never retrieve it
Leave nothing but my love for you
Let the storm winds blow I will not be cold
I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
I wear your love like a bright suit of armor reflecting the sun
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love
You watched without knowing where I was going
Trusting the vision I'd found
For if dreams were a fire I had desire
That could burn this old house to the ground
So I walk quite free for surrounding me
I wear your love like a scarf that I borrowed that still holds your perfume
I wear your love pulled tight as I'm sleeping under a cold lover's moon
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love
Don't you know can't you see head to toe it is covering me
Like a stone the oceans's tide nothing can hurt me or turn me aside
For I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
I wear your love like a badge of devotion of love and beyond
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love
It is always enough for I wear your love

The link above is for you to do more searching and perhaps pick you up a ring tone.
I say this to you my dear and beloved sister Regina,
for this is the song she picked for our dad on the day we celebrated his life.
The day also we said goodbye to one of "our hero's" because he had daddy eyes for us,
Regina and I and Clint.
On Sept. 12, 1998 he left us - this being his 11 yr. marker I finally got a chance to dedicate
the songs that she and I picked that sad day. I chose Billy Dean which is the song
that plays as you enter this blogspot and because I could not download
'I wear your love', by Kathy Mattea;
I chose one very similar (the number 2 song that plays) and says quite a bit now about
how I personally feel about my fathers passing.
I deal with it, and struggle too.
I hope you enjoy the songs we selected for your grandpa "Chicken Legs" as well -
Faith, Chad, Matt, and Ladybug.
We all had such good times (sometimes)

May you rest in peace until we meet again daddy!
