Blood Red Rose

Blood Red Rose...

I watch each day as it fades and dies
The blood red rose, you gave me, my love
Before you went away

There wasn’t time,
You said, before you left, to give me
That little something to remember you by
And so I’m left here wondering, just what you had in mind
I’m left here wondering, just what you wanted to give me
And I’m left here wondering,
If you’ll be giving me it when you come back
So with wistful thoughts it is
I wipe the dust from off your photo
And there, reflected in the glass
I watch each day as the blood red rose
You gave me, my love, starts to fade away
To know you’ve gone to love'n honour
And respect the vows you made
I can’t find the way to bid you farewell
So as I watch the red rose disappear
Be gone, my love
Without me saying the goodbye word

I watch each day as it fades and dies
The blood red rose, you gave me, my love
Before you went away
