Yesterday's Roses

Marty Robbins · Country (1960-1966) [1996]

Roses, pressed in a bible

Bring wonderful memories of you

Roses, withered and faded

The same as the love we once knew



Yesterday's roses covered with teardrops

Yesterday's teardrops sparkle like dew

I'll always treasure yesterday's roses

Tellin' a story that never came true



Sometimes when I'm alone, dear

My poor heart is breaking inside

True love we might have known, dear

But just like the roses, it died



Yesterday's roses covered with teardrops

Yesterday's teardrops sparkle like dew

I'll always treasure yesterday's roses

Tellin' a story that never came true
