I'll Send You Roses
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
The better you will be
For life holds no promise
For you or for me
Like sand through the hourglass
Our time's all run out
And no one will question
What it's all about
But maybe there's still
One last chance
A chance for you and i
To have true romance
And you should know by now
How much I care for you
And that I would do anything
To prove my love to you
(baby) I'll send you roses
Yeah full of poses
'cause I want your love
Baby, I'll send you roses
Yeah full of poses
'cause I want your love
The sooner you realize
The sooner you will see
That I'm the one for you
You're the only one for me
Like sand through the hourglass
Our time will run out
And then my love could be
Alone without a doubt
Hook
To you
Hook repeat to fade
