Angel in the Shop

[Verse 1] It was 1991 When I walked in your shop I couldn't believe it That angel standing there Your eyes, your face Your smile and grace I knew right there One day you'd be mine [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it clear All these years went by Gray hair in the mirror And you by my side [Chorus] Elizabeth by my side Elizabeth, my wife Through the hurt and the pain You stayed in my life Elizabeth by my side My friend, my wife It’s you for life (You for life) [Verse 2] Now thirty-five years later Eleven grandkids we share I look at our life And thank God you were there For the tears and the struggles For the nights we made it through Every road got lighter When I was walking with you [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it clear All these years went by Gray hair in the mirror And you by my side [Chorus] Elizabeth by my side Elizabeth, my wife Through the hurt and the pain You stayed in my life Elizabeth by my side My friend, my wife It’s you for life (You for life) [Bridge] An angel called Elizabetth That's the name in my prayer When the world went heavy You were already there Hand in hand, we kept on When the days cut deep You were the steady heartbeat That carried me [Final Chorus] Elizabeth by my side Elizabeth, my wife Through the hurt and the pain You stayed in my life Elizabeth by my side My friend, my wife It’s you for life (You for life)
