《The Rose》歌词

[00:00:01] A lifetime comes and goes

[00:00:04] And as my friend the rose said only yesterday

[00:00:12] "This morning I was born

[00:00:15] And baptised in the dawn

[00:00:18] I flowered in the dew

[00:00:21] And life was fresh and new

[00:00:24] The sun shone through the cold

[00:00:27] And through the day I grew

[00:00:30] By night-time I was old"

[00:00:35] "At least there's never been

[00:00:38] No you have never seen

[00:00:41] A rose more bright and gay"

[00:00:48] A lifetime comes and goes

[00:00:50] And as my friend the rose said only yesterday

[00:00:57] "The good lord smiled on me

[00:00:59] So why then should it be

[00:01:01] I feel I'm falling now

[00:01:04] Oh yes I'm falling now

[00:01:06] My heart no-one can save

[00:01:09] My head begins to bow

[00:01:11] My feet are in the grave"

[00:01:15] The rose God smiled upon

[00:01:18] Tomorrow will be gone

[00:01:20] Forever gone away

[00:01:25] A lifetime comes and goes

[00:01:27] And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day

[00:01:34] The moon is shining bright

[00:01:36] And in my dreams tonight

[00:01:38] Beneath the starlit sky

[00:01:40] My friend the rose goes by

[00:01:43] He has seen my dreams I see

[00:01:45] A soul that wouldn't die

[00:01:47] Still watching over me

[00:01:52] Whatever fortune brings

[00:01:54] I'll hope for better things

[00:01:56] Or life will just be grey

[00:02:00] "A lifetime comes and goes"

[00:02:03] That's what my friend the rose

[00:02:07] Said only yesterday
