Ripley Archer - My Beautiful Shirley (Remastered 2025)

My beautiful Shirley,
So full of grace,
A warrior’s heart and an angel’s face.
So Elegant
Graceful
Your smile, kind and bold
Your spirit so precious,
Your wisdom so old.

Your hair is a halo that catches the light,
Your brilliant eyes have always shone bright.
You've walked through the storms and faced so much rain
And though the storms keep on giving, you just rise again
Through all of the years, you have found your way
Hard working, inspired, you got up each day
With gentle hands and heart so true
There really was nothing you couldn’t do.

Your story is one that has to be told
And the memories of you, forever I‘ll hold
For you were the beacon, Independent and free
You are the woman young girls dream to be,
Your love was so deep, and your strength is so strong
You embody the light that deserves its own song.

My beautiful Shirley,
So full of grace,
A warrior’s heart and an angel’s face.
So Elegant
Graceful
Your smile, kind and bold
Your spirit so precious,
Your wisdom so old.

Elegant grace in every way that you move
With quiet strength, you always prove
That being gentle doesn’t have to mean that you're weak
You're simply the lighthouse that all of us seek

No matter the challenge, no matter what’s wrong,
You’re always the queen, and you’re always so strong.

Forever the beacon, Independent and free
You are the woman young girls dream to be.
You are the one who shone bright for me
In the dark moments of life, you helped me to see.

My beautiful Shirley,
So full of grace,
A warrior’s heart and an angel’s face.
