Question
Hi Mel,
This may be a difficult question. I'm not sure of the name or artist. We thought the name was Awards but not sure Here are some of the lyrics:
If they gave awards for the worlds greatest lover then darling I know you would in them all. and if they gave them for every good thing you have done then darling they would cover our wall.

Answer
Hello Tawnya,

That song was co-written and recorded by Wayne Kemp. It was called "Award To An Angel" and appeared on his 1971 album titled "Wayne Kemp".


If they gave awards for best angel
Then darlin' I know you would win them all
And if there was one for every good thing you've done
Then sweetheart they'd cover our walls

The first one would be for best lover
'Cause darlin' you've loved me so long
There would be one for being the best forgiver
You forgave me each time I've gone wrong

One would stand out above all the others
Like you stand out wherever you go
One would say to the world's greatest mother
With love from those who should know

On a wall by itself would hang a solid gold plaque
Trimmed with diamonds and silver engraved and it would say
To a woman to a wife who's loved me all of my life
And I thank God every day


Glad to be of help. Cheers.......Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
