Barbara

From a distance, I saw my future

Standing right there at your open door

Wrapped in a bathrobe, looking like an angel

I knew right then what my heart was beating for

We went out stepping that very same evening

The spirit moved and the spark caught fire

Barbara, you are so loving and caring

You lift my soul a little bit higher

Oh, I thank God for you, my beautiful wife

The sweetest blessing of my whole life

I still love your long blonde curly hair

And the way you show this family how much you care

An awesome Nana, a love so true

Every single day, I thank God for you

Three short months of courting my baby

Sunday nights gathered 'round your table

Eating french fries and slices of sweet cake

Building a love that was strong and stable

In ninety days we were walking the aisle

Promising forever in the holy light

I look back now and I testify

The Lord was working on that very first night

Oh, I thank God for you, my beautiful wife

The sweetest blessing of my whole life

I still love your long blonde curly hair

And the way you show this family how much you care

An awesome Nana, a love so true

Every single day, I thank God for you

Forty-plus years of walking together

Through the sunshine and the changing weather

Three grown kids standing tall and strong

Seven grandkids to pass the blessing on

Hallelujah, look what love can do

When the Lord gives a woman like you

Oh, I thank God for you, my beautiful wife

The sweetest blessing of my whole life

I still love your long blonde curly hair

And the way you show this family how much you care

An awesome Nana, a love so true

Every single day, I thank God for you

Oh, praise the Lord, I thank God for you!
