I wear her love and wedding ring for all the world to see
'Cause I want everyone to know that she belongs to me
Every time I look at her I smile because I know
I reached through all the thorns of life to pick the fairest rose

She stood by me through hungry years and never once complain
When all the world came down on me she picked me up again
I never let a day go by that I don't let her know
I reached through all the thorns of life to pick the fairest rose

The Lord know I love her she's everything that's good
And I'm so proud to be the one she gives her loving to
Some time I just send her just one rose cause I want her to know
I reached through all the thorns of life to pick the fairest rose

I reached through all the thorns of life to pick the fairest rose
