Long Stem Rose

My long stem rose won't sit on the mantelpiece

She's not disposed to being one of a dozen she's

A living thing that's bound to get tired

She won't be content just being admired funny that's the way it goes

When you're like a long stem rose

My long stem rose were you cut down in your prime

My love still grows for the flower I call mine

Are you doomed to die after the spring time

Have I just become a thorn in your side

Funny that's the way it goes when you love a long stem rose

Strings over verse

My long stem rose I know you won't last too long

You'll shed your clothes your petals fall then you're gone

In another garden growing so sweetly in an endless summer

Forgetting about mewonder where you are who knows

In another bed I suppose, lying like a long stem rose

My long stem rose
