ROWS OF ROSES
(By Nomi Yah)

When Grandpa proposed, he gave her a rose
On their wedding day, gave her a big bouquet
On anniversaries he went to nurseries
Every year he chose a different color rose
To put in the ground for her
And this went on for fifty years
She has rows of roses growing in her garden
She has rows of roses planted in her yard
She cuts and puts them in a vase
It puts a smile on her face
Every time she sees those
Rows and rows of roses

As Grandpa would say, a store-bought bouquet
Doesn’t last for long, now even though he’s gone
He still gives flowers to her
For the rest of her years
She has rows of roses growing in her garden
She has rows of roses planted in her yard
She cuts and puts them in a vase
It puts a smile on her face
Every time sees those
Rows and rows of roses

We said come live with us, no she wouldn’t budge
She decided to stay right where she was
Where she could breathe in his undying love
Rows of roses growing in her garden
She has rows of roses planted in her yard
She cuts and puts them in a vase
It puts a smile on her face
Every time sees those
Rows and rows of roses
She see those rows and roses or roses
