I Buy Her Roses

Sammy Kershaw · Don't Go Near The Water [1991]

Pardon me, I need to buy some roses

Would you wrap them in some paper and a bow

For along time I forgot how much she loves them

So now everyday I make sure I bring some home.



I buy her roses, sweet red roses

Heaven knows that she deserves the best

I buy her roses, pretty roses

'Cause loving her is as good as love can get.



--- Instrumental ---



(Spoken)

Yes ma'm and a card

(Sang)

......................................with love to someone special

So she will never have to wonder if I care

Than someday if she should come back home again

They'll be a house of those roses waiting there.



I buy her roses, sweet red roses

Heaven knows that she deserves the very best

I buy her roses, pretty roses

'Cause loving her was as good as lovin' gets.



Yes, loving her was as good as lovin' gets...
