What kind of woman is this?

Royston 1946 (Reading)



What kind of woman is this?
That I'm so privileged to kiss.
My precious gift from above
who so freely gives me her love
 
So wonderful and lovely is she.
Praise God that He's given her to me.
Just as Eve for Adam was sent
so Dorothy for her Roy was meant.

We were at school when we first met
and God's plan for us in motion was set.
He joined us together as man and wife
and she's now the soul mate of my life.

A roller coaster of events had begun
and my love, life with you is fun.
We have so many memories to share
treasured moments of love and care.

I sometimes wake up as you sleep at my side
gaze upon your lovely face with pride.
'Thank you God for my wife', I say in prayer
'For giving her for me to love and care.
