Red Rose
Red, red rose
Red, red rose
It's my sweet red rose
Heart aches in misery
It's about to get the best of me
Twelve red roses don't mean a thing
I'm gonna throw them away one by one
In the sense they bring
This one reminds me of the day I met you
Full of life and love and a similar vision
Two representing the good times together
This one keeps on changing like the weather
Oh, that fall, that horrible fall
When you walked out the door
The fourth month, the fourth day, at four
Crack of the morning, I think I'll never see you no more
Five knocks rapping on my door
Six steps, I made it across my floor
Seven hollering and I'm back in your arms
Enthused by the wonders of your many charms
Eight days a week I sit and wait for you
Nine out of ten times you didn't come through
Your mama left me with tears to my eyes
And used an eleven page letter just to say goodbye
This one's under the water
I can't see it very clear
Representing my future
My future, my future
Twelve red roses
Twelve red roses
Twelve red roses
Twelve red roses
