Just like the roses With thorns in the sides White petals went blowing Head turned to the sky Oh it burns those thoughts of heaven Oh it hurts to think about losing you But I know one day we'll be together But until that day comes I'll be thinking about roses Smiles are glowin' Like painted pianos Don't know where I'm goin All that I've got only notes Oh it burns those thoughts of heaven Oh it hurts to think about losing you But I know one day we'll be together But until that day comes I'll be thinking about roses Roses Got to get my mind off These things are bringing me down Got to get my mind off These things are bringing me down Got to get my mind off These things are bringing me down Got to get my mind off These things are bringing me down Oh it burns those thoughts of heaven Oh it hurts to think about losing you But I know one day we'll be together But until that day comes I'll be thinking about roses Roses
