Lyrics
?SHE?S AN ORCHID? (REVISED)
Lord you sent her to me, in my troubled time
To help me smooth it over , and save this life of mine
Her gentle hand touched the wall I'd built around my life
It fell and disappeared till not a stone was left in sight
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
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
Repeat 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
