Best Beloved and I have known each other 45 years. When we were young, she knew I was the one for her. I was not so wise. We started our life together 25 years later than we could have.
Lyrics
Pretty young girl in a flower print dress
Said “She’s not the one for you
She’ll never love you the way that I can
She won’t make your dreams come true”
A handsome young man knew the truth of her words
Set about putting things right
Walked away from someone who’d ruin his life
Who let him go without a fight
The pretty young girl in the flower print dress
Found contentment and joy as his wife
She made their home a haven of peace
Shone warm and light in his life
Their children grew in a house filled with love
With their father, so kind and wise
The pretty young girl in the flower print dress
Saw forever in her children’s eyes
The pretty young girl in the flower print dress
And the handsome young man in her heart
Lived happily ever, right to the end
Forever, never apart
A pretty young girl in a flower print dress
Sees a wedding from up on a hill
Thinks about dreams she hoped would come true
And knows that they never will
