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 beguiled
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
the same 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...
