Lyrics
"She's An Orchid" Orig.
Lord you sent her to me in my troubled time
To help me smooth it over, and save this life of mine
Through her lips came the words that were so softly spoken
That healed the wounds of a heart, so very very broken
Her gentle hand touched the wall I'd built around my life
It fell and disappeared till not a stone was left in sight
Her loving arms she put around me and helped me to my feet
And walked along beside me and lead me down the street
Chorus:
She's an orchid in a field of roses, a diamond on a beach of sand
She's the gold at the end of a rainbow, a thorobred in a wild horse band
There's an angel in this woman ,this woman that is my wife
She's an orchid in a field of roses, and I'll love her the rest of my life
This woman's so understanding , she knows every thought I have
She knows just when to kiss me, and how tight to squeeze my hand
Her laughter really sends me some pleasures I've never known
The best friend I ever had, she would never do me wrong
She lets me have my own time , and knows when to come on in
The way she holds me close to her, I know it can't be a sin
She's a sweet and loving woman, makes me know I'm a man
She's an orchid in a field of roses, there's not another one in this land
Repeate Chorus:
She's an orchid in a field of roses, there's not another one in this land
She's an orchid in a field of roses, and I'll love her the rest of my life
