You and Me and Tears and Roses

Jan Howard · This Is Jan Howard Country [Decca] [1967]

(Jim Glaser - Heinz Bucholz - Karl Goetz)



You and me and tears and roses

in my memory side by side

For you always sent me roses

Everytime you made me cry.



Tears and roses now remind me

That your love was just a lie

For today you sent me roses

With a note that said goodbye.



And then a little while

When the roses die

All I'll have left of you

Are the tears I cry and cry, oh, oh, oh, oh.



You and me and tears and roses

Not much left to fill the home

Roses will be gone tomorrow

But the tears go on and on.



--- Instrumental ---



Tup dup to to, do tup to to do.



And then a little while

And then a little while

When the roses die

All I'll have left of you

Are the tears I cry and cry, oh, oh, oh, oh.



You and me and tears and roses

Not much left to fill the home

Roses will be gone tomorrow

But the tears go on and on.



But the tears go on and on...
