You're that one special woman
I thought I'd never find
With the stream to be gentle
And the courage to be kind.

Though it hasn't all been roses
Still I know you understand
One of these nights
I'm gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In tha peaceful shelter only love can provide
I'll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down right by your side.

There's no diamond on your finger
Just a simple wedding bend
Since your knight in shining armor
Is just an ordinary man.

Though I promised you a kingdom
And we don't have all we planned
One of these nights when we're making believe
I'm gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In tha peaceful shelter only love can provide
I'll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down right by your side...
