Lyrics
My Beautiful Bride- By Jana Leigh McWhorter
Copyright 2007
I was young and I was carefree, I didn't have a clue
All I knew my teenage heart was so in love with you.
You were everything I'd dreamed of, all I needed in my life
You made me the happiest man, when I made you my wife...Lord I love you ...yes I do.
I remember being happy, at the birth of our first child
I took your hand, looked into your eyes, looking back at me you smiled
Forty years have come and gone now, all the kids are grown
One by one they left our nest, raising families of their own...and I still love you...yes I do.
Chorus:
Looking back over the course of time I wouldn't change a thing
You're still the one that I adore, you're still my everything
Oh I know I've made mistakes, but let me pull you to my side
And tell you that I love you...my beautiful bride
You were with me last winter, when my mother died
You took my hand and wiped my tears, just held me as I cried.
Through the good times and the bad times, through laughter and the pain
One thing you can count on, one thing will never change... It's that I love you ...yes I do
