You're that one special woman I'd thought I'd never find With a strength to be gentle And the courage to be kind Though it hasn't all been roses I know you'll understand One of these nights when we're sharing our dreams I'm gonna take you by the hand And lay you down on a bed of roses In that 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 band Seems your knight in shining armour 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 that 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 And then I'll lay me down right by your side
