《Tender As A Rose(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Tender As A Rose (Album Version) - Abbey Lincoln

[00:00:00] She was as tender as a rose

[00:00:08] She was as soft as snowy down

[00:00:16] And from her head down to her toes

[00:00:23] She was a dream that hung around

[00:00:29] She was as fresh as april

[00:00:34] And it's warm as may

[00:00:40] And all the fellas threw their hearts away

[00:01:53] She was as tender as a rose

[00:02:00] She came back walking all alone

[00:02:07] She wasn't gone for very long

[00:02:14] She came back with a heart of stone

[00:02:22] We knew that everything had gone wrong

[00:02:29] And when you ask her why she's out each night

[00:02:37] She'll say "Brother once I tried to be right

[00:02:45] Once all of my loving was Joe's

[00:02:50] I was as tender as a rose "

[00:02:59] She was as tender as a rose

[00:03:07] That's the way the story goes

[00:03:11] And sometimes the rose was he
