Lyrics
CHRISTMAS ROSES
(CHORUS):
I'LL SEND ROSES FOR CHRISTMAS; LONG STEMMED ROSES WILL DO.
TOKENS OF THE PRECIOUS LOVE THAT I ONCE SHARED WITH YOU.
I'LL SEND ROSES FOR CHRISTMAS, MOISTENED WITH ONE TINY TEAR;
LOVING ROSES, CHRISTMAS ROSES; I'LL SEND ROSES THIS YEAR.
YOU KNOW HOW WE LOVED PRETTY ROSES;
ONE SPECIAL ROSE, I CONFESS;
THAT ONE SPECIAL ROSE, THAT YOU AND I CHOSE
TO WEAR ON MY WEDDING DRESS.
ONE SUNNY DAY IN SEPTEMBER, DUTY CALLED YOU AWAY;
YOU WALKED OUT OUR DOOR, RETURNED NEVERMORE;
THE WORLD CHANGED FOREVER THAT DAY.
(CHORUS):
I'LL SEND ROSES FOR CHRISTMAS; SENT IN MEM'RY OF YOU.
TOKENS OF THAT SPECIAL LOVE; A LOVE WE SHARED, SO TRUE.
I'LL SEND ROSES FOR CHRISTMAS; MOISTENED WITH ONE TINY TEAR;
LOVING ROSES; CHRISTMAS ROSES; I'LL SEND ROSES THIS YEAR.
LOVING ROSES; CHRISTMAS ROSES; I'LL SEND ROSES THIS YEAR.
