ROSES
(VALENTINE SONG)
IT was just a rose I sent her,
Just a half-blown rose,
And the message that it carried
Everybody knows.
Just a half-blown rose,
And the message that it carried
Everybody knows.
Each petal bore a greeting
For my lady fair,
And, oh, the whole wide world might read
What was written there.
For my lady fair,
And, oh, the whole wide world might read
What was written there.
For roses are Love's servitors—
Roses red as wine.
"I love you, love you, love you, sweet,"
Is their mystic sign.
Roses red as wine.
"I love you, love you, love you, sweet,"
Is their mystic sign.
It was just a rose I sent her,
Just a fragrant rose,
But that it carried all my heart
Everybody knows!
Just a fragrant rose,
But that it carried all my heart
Everybody knows!
