|
While strolling through a lovely garden |
|
As day was drawing to a close |
|
My eyes beheld a tragic story |
|
I saw a teardrop on the rose |
|
It should have been a tear of gladness |
|
But deep inside the sorrow shows |
|
A trusting heart had just been broken |
|
I saw a teardrop on the rose |
|
A sobbing tear that follows parting |
|
Holds all the pain that sorrow knows |
|
A book to buy a life is shattered |
|
There lies the story on the rose |
|
The tear will dry the rose will wither |
|
When spring and winter comes and goes |
|
I loved, I lost, my story ended |
|
With just a teardrop on the rose |
