Lyrics

She came through the door in calico and lace,
And I knew that I had seen the one I'd love forevermore.
And since the day I saw that girl a long, long time ago,
Each day with her has been like finding precious gold.

Chorus:
Calico and lace have made the difference in my life,
I once was sad, but I can smile again.
Today my life is full, and skies above are blue and bright,
I've found the wife who filled my life with gold.

She's the one I run to at the end of every day,
And she's the one who makes each morning shine like sunshine bright.
If she was all the treasure I'd discovered in my life,
I still would say that she's my vein of precious gold.

Chorus

Her beauty is my starlight and it guides me through the night,
And her arms are like safe harbor from the storms that fill my life.
I know that other men might claim their girl's beyond compare,
But I know I've found the vein of purest gold.

Chorus
