A RED ROSE
A Red Rose for the day
the first time our eyes met
Another for my heart
and knowing it had set
Several for occasions
that together we will share
A couple more for memories
of times within our care
One for my attention
to every word you say
Always and forever
until the end of day.
Two for every kiss
we've shared out in the rain
Another for each time
I've tried to right your pain
Four for every fight we've had
and two for every night
I've tried to win you back again
and make everything alright.
Two for every worry
that makes you want to pout
Two more for my arms
that will always be stretched out
One for every promise
that I've already made
Each one a sign forever
that our love will never fade.
A single, lone Red Rose
caught in a burning fire
Filled with every sentiment
of one's own love's desire.
