The Cantrells - Under The Rose Lyrics

There's a flower that grows in the shape of a rose
And its beauty is with me wherever I go
But its sweetness was lost in the winter's first frost
And the chill has stayed ever with me

[Chorus]
Oh, a long time ago when the world was still bright
There was fortune far as I could see
And this blossom still shines in the heart of my mind
But it holds only sorrow for me

Oh, the bitter winds blow in a sad tremolo
And they stir 'round the memory of our long ago
But the winds have no power to blow away my sorrow
And so it sits ever with me

[Chorus: x2]

And this blossom still shines in the heart of my mind
But it holds only sorrow for me
