Dying Roses
I count the days the flowers live
I count the days they die
Petals fall upon the ground
Forever they shall lie
I count the beats inside your chest
And pray they never stop
I watch the rose you gave me die
Each day the petals drop
I watch the rain fall down outside
I feel it on my head
The smell of summer rains is sweet
Without you I'd be dead
Forgive me I have sinned my Lord
I do each day I wake
I pray for your forgiveness God
Dismiss all my mistakes
We're in an early grave my love
Our hands clasped tight in death
I'm just so glad I died with you
As I took my one last breath
Flowers at our funeral
I used to watch them die
Now they lay above our grave
Bidding us good bye
I count the days they die
Petals fall upon the ground
Forever they shall lie
I count the beats inside your chest
And pray they never stop
I watch the rose you gave me die
Each day the petals drop
I watch the rain fall down outside
I feel it on my head
The smell of summer rains is sweet
Without you I'd be dead
Forgive me I have sinned my Lord
I do each day I wake
I pray for your forgiveness God
Dismiss all my mistakes
We're in an early grave my love
Our hands clasped tight in death
I'm just so glad I died with you
As I took my one last breath
Flowers at our funeral
I used to watch them die
Now they lay above our grave
Bidding us good bye
