Dozen Red Roses

Dozen Red Roses

Just remember my darling dear
When you and I were very near
A lovely rose in your pretty hair
Brought back memories we share.

All of my money I spent away
Dozen red roses sent you one day
Of those only one remains alive
Only thing left that does survive.

So slowly time still travels by
Cannot sleep even if hard I try
Cried myself to sleep the other night
No one was left to hold me tight.

Away bad dreams I so love her still
Last red rose up on the window sill
Is the only thing she has left behind
This is all of her left I now can find.

For eleven days she has been dead
Wish it would have been me instead
Last red rose love you and her still
God bring her back if you only will.
