(Marijohn Wilkin - Clarence R. Selman)

Morning comes and she's sleeping beside me
I'm not ashamed that she's lying there
Her lips are still warm from the love she just gave me
She's contented with sweet dreams we shared.

Soon I know that she will awaken
With the smile that strips my soul bare
While I wait for her smile and the sunshine that follows
I offer to heaven this prayer.

Please Lord let me love her forever
And keep her just the way she is now
She's tender and warm she's mine for the asking
My sweetheart, my treasure, my prayer.

Please Lord let me love her forever
And keep her just the way she is now
She's tender and warm she's mine for the asking
My sweetheart, my treasure, my prayer...
