Blue Roses

Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before I ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before I ever make you cry

Blue roses

You need more reassurance than a frightened orphan child

That I'm always gonna want you, that I'll always be beguilded

So I search for words to tell you

That my love for you is blind

But this fragment of a children's song is all that I can find

Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before I ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before I ever make you cry

Blue roses

This nursery rhyme is corny, it is stranded out of time

Yet it's simple and it's honest

And since when was that a crime?

And perhaps whoever wrote it

Loved someone like I love you

For in matters of the heart I've learned

There's little that is new

Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before I ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before I ever make you cry

Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before I ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before I ever make you cry

Before I ever make you cry

Blue roses
