Rose Of Blue


I thought that I could never be
All the things you wanted me to be
But one touch of this rose for you
Showed you what I wanted to do

I wanted to be your one reason
To forget all the hate and treason
So take this blue rose now, my love
And I'll show you all the stars above

My heart is craving for your heart
I knew you were mine, right from the start
But fear and sadness took over you
Made me wonder if we were truly through

But you smelled the rose once more
It stopped you from walking out the door
With me, you're starting over new
Because of this one rose of blue

You've found a reason to be
All the things you want to be
Now show me the blue rose, my love
So I can see all the stars above
