love is more than a lover
a wife is more than a ring
drink all of your day's pleasure
let it bring tomorrow;s sting
a virgin's pride's gone out of style it seems
but i say style's out of itself

-chorus-
so don't let your wedding fade to gray
don't let what'll be back then lead you astray
for when we're no longer you and i
but us my proverb doll

a doll visits me in prayers
her heart's your house, you're her first love
she hangs on your everlasting word
she hangs her picture in my mind's hall

-chorus-

she's clothed in strength and dignity
she laughs at days to come
her love for Jesus is why she's beautiful to me

-chorus-
