The touch of satin on my skin
The touch that warms the girl within
Most times it doesn’t fail to thrill
The touch of satin usually will
It’s not just fabric but a thought
That recalls every lesson taught
I never planned to be this way
But here I am like this today
A slip once worn by someone close
Feelings carry me along
A transport to the past
Mem’ries unsurpassed
That fill this heart with song
White slip and pretty pull-up hose
I’m awfully thin from head to toes
I love the way the satin feels
And wearing sandals with low heels
I’ve tried to put it off to let it go
With shame that ere assails
But then I think of you
Oh what to do as every effort fails
I was so lost but then was found
A transformation so profound
You saw the girl is what you said
Inside the boy with whom you wed
It’s more that clothing, or attire
Of yours I had come to admire
Your spirit touched me deep inside
No long forced to run and hide
So now I find myself remembering
The times that we have shared
In all the years that passed I simply know
That you're the one who cared
So now I sit in slip and hose
Enthralled with the garb I chose
And now to finish I confess
I saved for last your wedding dress
