BIG BLUE ROSES

CHORUS: BIG BLUE ROSES ROUND MY DOOR
SEEMS TO ME THEY WERE ALWAYS RED BEFORE
BIG BLUE ROSES DON'T LOOK REAL
ARE THEY BLUE OR IS IT JUST THE WAY I FEEL

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1: WE DREAMED A WEDDING IN THE SPRING
AND LOVE FOR EVER MORE
A PICKET FENCE, A COTTAGE
AND SOME ROSES ROUND THE DOOR
WHEN YOU DECIDED YOU'D MOVE ON
AND ALL OUR PLANS FELL THROUGH
IT GOT SO COLD IN MID JULY
THE ROSES TURNED TO BLUE

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 2: WE PLANTED ROSES IN THE SPRING
WITH TENDER LOVING CARE
WE TREATED THEM LIKE BABIES
EVERY MINUTE WE COULD SPARE
WE WATCHED THEM GROW WE WATCHED THEM BLOOM
AND REACH UP FOR THE SKY
WE TOOK CARE OF THE ROSES
BUT WE LET A GOOD LOVE DIE

REPEAT CHORUS
