Verse 1: Well I left from the door where the roses grow tall
And the window the shape of your face
Well I smiled and I waved you goodbye
But a tear chose to fall from your eyes
Is it hard that I left there without you?
Is it you that believes that I doubt you?
When it?s me that turned round when you said ?A rose it stays red?
Verse 2: Well these blossoms won?t bloom and I?ve had to assume
That my flowers will die in my palm
Well my garden won?t grow any more
And my roses aren?t tall by the door
It?s so hard that I left there without you
And it?s me that regrets that I doubt you
And I should have took heed when you said ?A rose it stays red?
Chorus: And I dreamt if I saw you I?d smile and implore you
And tell you how wrong that I was
And you?d smile, understand
And you?d put in my hand a rose
