Roses Lyrics

A soft summer evening, another time, another place /
He brought her red roses on their very first date /
She got carried away by the things that he said /
Time would erase them but she would never forget /

Chorus :
And the roses heard it all /
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand /
The roses in the paper on the wall /
There's a story to tell if roses could talk /


Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place /
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face /
While he talks in his sleep confessingh is love /
He calls out a name that she's never heard of /

Chorus

Bridge : She never told him /
She never let him see her cry /
Only the roses know /
What she kept deep down inside /

The years took their toll and the angels took her away /
Now there's familiy and friends at a cold winter's grave /
He kneels down and whispers, "You're the only love that I've known" /
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone /

But the roses heard it all /
The rose from her garden, the rose in her Bible /
The roses in the paper on the wall /
There's a story to tell if roses could talk /
What a story they'd tell if roses could talk /
