Red Sovine - The Prettiest Dress lyrics

Well hun We both knew this time just had to come But the thing we didn't know was Which of us would be the first to go Ahh they just brought you home sweetheart And I've asked the kids and the grandchildren too Wait outside a minute or two 'cause I wanted some time by myself To share some old memories with you Why, I remember the first time I saw you And the way you stole this old heart of mine And the first present I ever gave you Was the prettiest dress that I could find Ah we courted awhile And I just nearly drove you wild 'Til you finally said you'd be mine And I gave you that ring and one other thing.. The prettiest dress that I could find Ahh we shared joyed and tears for The next fifty six or seven years But honey, All I can recall are the good times And the way that I would prove how much I loved you Was with the prettiest dress that I could find Now, I thought my love was strong, a-a-a-and It was But, when the kids came along I was just as helpless as I could be But you'd just lay there and grin When I came strutting in With the prettiest dress I could find But darling, Its so different this time Why, There just wasn't a thing I could do And you know how I always go to pieces When something happens to you Well, I'd just like to say I love you And, Sweetheart, You look just fine But before I go, I want you to know That you're waring the prettiest dress That I could find.. Yes you are
