Bed of Roses
The sunshine told the flowers
That you're not here anymore
Their petals just don't seem to smile
Quite like they did before
Your name is whispered in the wind
Each time I feel the breeze
The willows miss you since you left
And all of the other trees
The birds won't sing their happy songs
Like they did when you were here
The rainbows come to look for you
But then they disappear
You always took care of the flowers
Now the flowers take care of you
You fill them with your presence
The way that you used to do
In a beautiful bed of roses
Is where the angels let you sleep
But you're the most beautiful flower
That the roses will ever keep
