The Lady In the Box

You're as beautiful as the day, I met you And it will always be that way I said that I would always love you And that still stands true, today You're the best mother a child ever had And you're also the worlds greatest wife You're the woman of a thousands dreams That I've searched for all of my life You always knew how to make me smile Whenever I was feeling down There was something in your magical voice That would melt away my frown I wanted to put you on a pedistal But you said it was way too high You said you didn't deserve it But I never quite understood why You're the reason that God made the sunshine To compete with your beautiful smile But you never thought you were special For that was just never your style We've made memories to last us a lifetime And I promise to never forget I've made you a million promises And I haven't broken one yet I come here today to say goodbye And to give you one last kiss I want you to know, as they lower you down How much you're gonna be missed
