Lyrics
You took me by surprise
When you waited for me
It's then that I realized
How much of your love is free
It's like one red rose ten dozen free
Best deal in town just for you and me
One red rose ten dozen free
Heaven only knows how much you mean to me
So then I made you my wife
just so the world can see
that even in times of strife
you'll always be there for me
(Repeat Chorus)
When Heaven opened the doors
So all the Angels could see
You're more than I could have wanted
God said it was meant to be
And when we're old and gray
and our lives are fulfilled
I know our children will say
what a wonderful life we've lived
