Kenny Rogers – Lady Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lady, I’m your knight in shining armor
And I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there’s so many ways
I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more
[Chorus]
You have gone and made me such a fool
I’m so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won’t you believe in my song
[Verse 2]
Lady, for so many years
I thought I’d never find you
You have come into my life
And made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear
[Chorus]
In my eyes I see no one else but you
There’s no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes
I’ll always want you near me
I’ve waited for you for so long
[Verse 3]
Lady, your love’s the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
‘Cause my love
There’s something I want you to know
You’re the love of my life
You’re my lady
