Have you ever loved a rose
And watched her slowly bloom
And as her petals would unfold
You grew drunk on her new perfume
Have you ever seen her dance
Her leaves all wet with dew
And quivered with a new romance the wind
He loved her too
Have you ever longed for her on nights that just go on and on
For now, her face is all a blur
Like a memory kept to long
Have you ever loved a rose and bled against her thorns
And swear each night to let her go.
Then love her more by dawn.
