Send Me No Roses

(Hank Mills)



Send me no roses

Please, no more roses

Your roses can't hold me

What I need most is you.



Without fail everyday

Since you went away

The doorbell rings

You're sending roses again.



In my room all petals fall

But darling, that's not all

I read your card then

A million tears began.



Though the love we once knew

Still lives inside of you

The one who holds you now

Won't set you free.



To see me you don't dare

But roses say you care

Tell her goodbye

Then please return to me.



But send me no roses

Please, no more roses

Roses are red I know

But to my tears they look blue.



Send me no roses

Please, no more roses

Your roses can't hold me

What I need most is you...
