"I'll Always Love You"

WHITE LACE AND SOFT SATIN

WHITE LACE AND SMOOTH SATIN, THE SOFT WIND PLAYED WITH HER LONG HAIR,

HER TALL HANDSOME PRINCE, TOGETHER IN THE SPRING TIME, THE SOFT SCENTED AIR,

THE BIRDS SO HAPPY THEY SANG WITH DELIGHT,

THE SWEET SPOKEN WORDS OF LOVE IN THE WARM SILENT NIGHT,

SITTING IN LOVE, LIKE NO ONE BEFORE,

THE WAVES CAN BE HEARD SOFTLY KISSING THE SHORE.

SHE SITS IN HER ROOM LOST IN HER THOUGHTS,

DREAMING OF HER PRINCE, ALL THE JOY HE BROUGHT,

SHE CAN STILL HEAR HIS LAUGHTER, FEEL HIS WARM EMBRACE,

JUST THE THOUGHT OF HIM PUTS A SMILE ON HER FACE,

SHE PICKS UP HER MIRROR SHE CAN SEE A NICE LADY THERE,

SHE CAN SEE A FEW WRINKLES, IS THAT SILVER IN HER HAIR?

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG AGO, DOES HE REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE BRAND NEW?

DOES HE STILL THINK OF HER AND HOW HIS LOVE FOR HER GREW?

IS SHE JUST BEING SILLY LIVING ON DREAMS?

DOES HE STILL LOVE HER THE WAY IT SEEMS?

SHE LOOKS THERE TO SEE HIM, HER TALL HANDSOME MAN,

SHE SEES THE RING ON HIS LEFT HAND,

HE SMILES SAYS " I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,

HER BROWN EYES MUST CRY AT HIS SOFT GENTLE TOUCH.

WHITE LACE AND SOFT SATIN, THE WIND IN HER HAIR,

SHE SAYS " MY PRINCE I LOVE YOU, I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE STILL HERE"
