The Prettiest Girl in Church

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sunday morning, pews of gold, A quiet grace the years would hold. The choir sang, the light came through, And there across the room stood you. The prettiest girl I'd ever seen, Not knowing all that life would mean. [Chorus] Oh, Sue Carol, my steady flame, Through every season, you remain. Thank you for the love we share, For every answered whispered prayer. Rest your head, close your eyes, My darling, you're my sweetest prize. [Verse 2] Sixty-seven years have rolled, Through gentle springs and winters cold. We built a home, we raised our own, We learned to mend, to let things go. Forgiveness soft as candlelight, Has carried us through every night. [Chorus] Oh, Sue Carol, my steady flame, Through every season, you remain. Thank you for the love we share, For every answered whispered prayer. Rest your head, close your eyes, My darling, you're my sweetest prize. [Bridge] Faith has held us, hand in hand, Through healing years we've come to stand. And still I pray for many more, The same sweet girl I first adored. [Verse 3] So lay here now beneath the moon, The world can wait, it's only you. Our children's laughter fills the air, A blessing more than we could bear. I'd choose you, love, in every life, My precious, everlasting wife. [Chorus] Oh, Sue Carol, my steady flame, Through every season, you remain. Thank you for the love we share, For every answered whispered prayer. Rest your head, close your eyes, My darling, you're my sweetest prize. [Outro] Sleep now, love, the stars above, Still singing of our endless love.
