[Verse 1] 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 Theres a story to tell if the roses could talk [Verse 2] Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place She lays in the darkness with tears on her face While he talks in his sleep confessing his love He calls out a name that shes never heard of [Chorus] [Verse 3] She never told him She never let him see her cry Only the roses know What she kept down inside The years took their toll and the angels took her away Now theres family and friends at a cold winters grave He kneels down and whispers, Youre the only love that Ive known As he lays a rose on a cold marble atone [Chorus]
rose, another, confessing, atone, never
