Roses - Lyrics by Ian Janis


Lyrics
She never had too much of money
Friendly strangers were all she knew
Nobody ever came to call but you
I would not say she isn't happythough the eyes of a foolwill make her blue
Nobody's ever seen the tears
It's true
I guess nobody wanted to
We'll have a celebration
Ice cream and candy cakes
She's very young to goso far away
And then there'll be the papersin black and whiteto say we're through
Nobody every loved mequite like you
I guess nobody wanted to
And there'll be rosesin the springtime still
I guess there will
I wish her roses and song
And she'll be olderas years go by,and how they fly
Will she be lonelywithout me along?
She doesn't make friends easily
She's only known a few
The incidental strangerpassing through
On Sundays and holidays
I'll take her far away
We never tried to savethe love we knew
I guess nobody wanted to
