A smile stretched like  elastic  on my face

I had two frocks from Woolworth’s in my case
Some Indian slip on sandals  made from gold
We’d never seen East Anglia and its space
I had two flowered frocks  inside my case
A smile stretched like  elastic  on my face
My smaller bag was full of bridal lace
I hoped the cottage was not dark and cold
But when I loved him,I  felt filled with grace
I had two frocks,  a nightdress, in my case
Some Indian slip on sandals made from gold
