A Rose

A rose so sweet
Like perfume in the night
It is my dream to be like you
Strong and gentle

I will turn and look at you
As the velvet sky grows dark
The love you give
A rose

I may not have another day
With you
I know not what the day
Will bring

We will have peace
At our final goodbye
Flowers will come
The sun will shine

Will you hold me
Give me your love
A rose so tender
Yet so strong

Don't turn me away
Or pain will come again
I need to learn a lesson
It's just not easy

I will not give up
A rose
How hard it will be
I do not know

I just have to believe
It will get better
Here is a grin for you
My rose

Storms may come
Winds may blow
Hail will fall
A rose will be there

I see your shadow on the wall
As I see your face in the mirror
The moon is watching from afar
The stars are glittering

By my side you will be
That is good with me
No goodbye I will not cry
A rose

Every night I Pray for you
Remember me always
And the day we met
Don't ever forget

How we fell in love
With roses at our feet
The love we made
On a bed of roses

There was tears
Of pure joy
Plenty of smiles
A rose

We laughed a lot
Fooled around
Played with each other
Such a thrill we got

A rose for me
Today, tomorrow, and forever
No regrets
No sorrow
