Like a bright sunny day / I want you to / Come my way / My African queen

 

 

 

 

 

My Beautiful Wife

 

 By Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd

 

I want to

See eye to eye

With you

I want to see

What you see

I want you

To see what I see

 

Eye to eye

Nose to nose

Lips to lips

Love to love

 

I want to see

You yesterday

Today

And tomorrow

 

Like a bright sunny day

I want you to

Come my way

 

My African queen

Brand new thing

My beautiful new wife

For the rest of my life.
