Lyrics Melissa Manchester

Melissa Manchester

White Rose

How come we feel the way we do?

How come we think as one, we two?

Like warm sunsets within our hearts

There's nothing in the real world

Could tear our love apart

Each season's born behind your eyes

Without your strength, my purpose dies

And if indeed, the soul remains

Let's leave within this lifetime

Two seeds beneath the rain

So we'll look for the white rose you and me

When we're both beyond this lifetime

Then we'll both become the seed

And if you leave this world tomorrow

Or if I leave this world today

You'll find me as the white rose

And I'll find you the same way

Rest assured I need your arms

I'll need them more in years to come

We'll wrap ourselves around our lives

And plant our hearts together

Before we see the other side

When lovers die in fairy tales

The "once upon a time" just fades

As children grow, like flowers wild

We could go on forever

Never fade away

So we'll look for the white rose you and me

When we're both beyond this lifetime

Then we'll both become the seed

And if you leave this world tomorrow

Or if I leave this world today

You'll find me as the white rose

And I'll find you the same way

And the thorns won't ever make you bleed

No, the stem that's you holds the flower that's me

So we'll look for the white rose you and me

When we're both beyond this lifetime

Then we'll both become the seed

And if you leave this world tomorrow

Or if I leave this world today

You'll find me as the white rose

And I'll find you the same way
