So peaceful she looks lying there on the grass

 A cushion tucked under her head

How lovely sing softly the bird in the tree

She looked on that day you were wed

And can you remember from that day to this

 A more peaceful look on her face

Can you respect her love and neglect her

And let her check out with grace
