Too Late for Roses

(Will Reid - Longdon Reid)



He came home from working late again

To a table set with candles for two

And by a dying flame he hung his head in shame

He forgot that she needs him too.



He finds a note she left for him

It said, she can't do this anymore

You've done it again when will it end

And who are you really working for.



Don't wait till it's too late, it's too late for roses

You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes

It's too late to miss her once another proposes

When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses.

She woke up to the smell of roses

He surprised her with breakfast in bed

He said he was wrong, the night was too long

Those three little words went unsaid.



So don't take tomorrow for granted

'Cause today just might be your last chance

Now's the time to start, start thinking with your heart

And hold her like it's your last dance.



Don't wait till it's too late, it's too late for roses

You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes

It's too late to miss her once another proposes

When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses.



Once you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses...
