Lyrics
See how red the roses grow
As though they try to show
The very fire, the same desire
That you inspire when you appear
Roses reflect my gladness
They share my sadness
When you’re not near
They are the emblems of
Passion, romance, and love
Chorus
Roses try to echo my devotion
Roses seem to mirror my emotion
Yet within the dreamy tango of roses
My heart so willingly discloses
Love will outlive the rose
