Black Hair and Red Lips

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came home broken, worn down and gray, Long years of service had carried away The man I once was, the light in my eyes, Then autumn arrived with a sweet surprise — A country dancehall, November air, And there you were, standing so fair. [Chorus] You were my angel, sent from above, God knew my heartache, He answered with love. Mi amor, you saved me, you brought back the light, Black hair and red lips on that Thanksgiving night. Through healing and faith, through peace that we've found, Lorena, you're the love that turned my life around. [Verse 2] We danced 'til the music was ready to close, Then late-night tacos, and heaven only knows — At Mama Margie's we opened our hearts, Talkin' of family, of new hopes to start. I saw your devotion, I knew right away This beautiful woman was here to stay. [Chorus] You were my angel, sent from above, God knew my heartache, He answered with love. Mi amor, you saved me, you brought back the light, Black hair and red lips on that Thanksgiving night. Through healing and faith, through peace that we've found, Lorena, you're the love that turned my life around. [Bridge] Four little blessings, two girls and two boys, You're the rock of our home, our peace and our joys. It's the best — every day that I'm holding you near, God knew what I needed, and He sent you here. [Verse 3] So here's to the years and the vows we made true, There's no version of me that don't belong to you. Through every storm we came out strong, Lorena, my darling, you've been my whole song. [Outro] Mi amor, my angel, my faith and my start, Forever I'll cherish you, close to my heart.
