Red Rose

My Love's like a red rose that is

newly sprung in June

Like a melody that is sweetly

played in tune

My Love's like a rose's sunshine,

so full of energy and light

I was but a mere vessel, tossing about helplessly in a sea of loneliness until I found you, my lovely red rose, shining bright

My spirits are lifted just by the sound of your voice and that look in your eyes

You make my life worth living, my red rose surprise

I will love thee, my red rose, through the seasons, and through times of trouble, for your love gives my life reason

I will love thee, my red rose, for as long as the

sands of life shall run

I will give you all the love I have to give, and anything else for the chance to touch your heart

For because of you, my life is now fun

I pray our love till death do us part, and that to each other we’ll be true and never feel blue

My lovely red rose, you make my spirits fly

Without you, just like a rose, I would wither and die

Not all at once, but little by little, petal by petal

With our deep love felt by so few,

my red rose, the love of my life, I love you
