Lyrics

WATER THE ROSES (Copyrighted)

It sure did me good to drop by last night
And say I was sorry for our silly fight
I know I was wrong and I just want the silence to end
I remembered what an old man once said long ago
If you water the roses, the roses will grow
So I guess I?ve just come by to water the roses again

Now I don?t pretend that I am some one
Who know how to patch things when love comes undone
So I?ll listen to the old man who?s probably been there before

CHORUS
And I?ll water the roses day after day
To stop any heartache that?s headed our way
And the love that I?m feeling for you babe will blossom and grow
And hard times will come
And hard times will go
But I hope what he told me will help us hold on
And when things look their worst babe I?ll still try to water the roses

(Lead)

Another thing the old man once said about life
You?ll be lucky young man if you find a wife
Who?ll stay with you / lay with you / pray with you
Boy till the end
Cause now a days I see how this world?s filled with pride
If someone?s unhappy -- they jump off the ride
And they might have stayed one if they?ve just would have watered the roses

CHORUS
So I?ll water the roses day after day
To stop any heartache that?s headed our way
And the love that I?m feeling for you babe will blossom and grow
And hard times will come
And hard times will go
But I hope what he told me will help us hold on
And when things look their worst babe I?ll still try to water the roses

Yeah when things look their worst babe I?ll still -- try to water the roses
