My Tears Are on the Roses

My tears on the roses

That you just gave to me

With a note that you are sorry

Begging me to set you free.



My tears are on the roses

And because I love you so

Your request I granted

That is all you'll ever know.



I'll be cryin' long, long after

The roses fade away

For without you I'll be dying

Just a little every day.



My tears are on the roses

But the roses can not tell

So my darling I will miss you

And just say I wish you well...
