While strolling thru a lovely garden
|
As day was drawing to a close...
|
My eyes beheld a tragic story
|
I saw a teardrop on a rose.
|
It should have been a tear of gladness
|
But deep inside the sorrow shows
|
A trusting heart had just been broken
|
I saw a teardrop on a rose.
|
A sobbing tear that follows parting
|
Holds all the pain that sorrow knows
|
A false goodbye a life is shattered
|
There lies a story on a rose.
|
The tear will dry the rose will wither
|
|
I loved, I lost, my story ended
|
With just a teardrop on a rose.
