ROSES


THE PRETTIEST GIRL PINK PONEY TAILS
I RAN HOME I TOLD MY DAD "I THINK SHE LIKES ME TOO"
I ASKED HIM "WHAT SHOULD I DO"
HE SAID "SON IF YOU THINK SHE IS THE ONE 
I'D BUY HER ROSES"

JUNIOR PROM SHE SHINES LIKE A STAR 
BUTTERFLIES ARE SAYING DON'T LET HER DOWN
I TOLD MYSELF I'LL BE EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS
OH I KNOW THAT SHE'S THE ONE 
I BOUGHT HER ROSES

OUR WEDDING DAY THE VOWS WE SAY
SHE'S MY BRIDE ON LIFE'S OCEAN TIDE 
I TOLD HER MY WIFE 
I'D LOVE HER TILL THE DAY I DIED 
OH SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL
WITH ALL THESE ROSES

IN OUR FIRST PLACE SMILE ON HER FACE
LONG DEBATES ABOUT HOW TO DECORATE
WE TOLD OURSELVES      
THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES 
OH WE MADE THAT HOUSE A HOME
WE PLANTED ROSES 

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU 
SHE ASKS ME "DADDY WHAT AM I GONNA DO"
BABY YOU'RE YOUR MOTHER'S CHILD
OH HOW SHE MADE US PROUD 
WE BOUGHT HER ROSES

SHE'S GROWN AND GONE WE'RE ON OUR OWN
FINDING OUR LOVE'S STILL STRONG
IT'S BEEN A SILVER LINING ALL ALONG 
ITS JUST LIKE STARTING OVER 
OH HOW LOVE CAN BE RENEWED 
WE FOUND NEW ROSES

EVERY SUNDAY I SIT BY YOUR GRAVE 
I'M ALONE YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO GO 
BUT DO'NT YOU KNOW 
OH I STILL LOVE YOU SO'
OH TRUE LOVE IT NEVER DIES 
I BROUGHT YOU ROSES

OH IT ALL WENT BY SO FAST 
BUT THERE WERE ALWAYS ROSES
