A Dozen White Roses Lyrics

CAPO: 2
INTRO: D C G C G C G
I HEARD HIS TIME WAS SHORT SO I
WENT TO SEE MY OLD FRIEND
WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR HE SAID
SURE GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN
SIT DOWN HERE BY ME,
DOC SAYS MY FUTURE AIN'T BRIGHT
BUT EVEN IF I DON'T BEAT IT THERE'S A
PART OF MY PAST THAT WON'T DIE
HE POINTS TO A PICTURE AND SMILES
FROM HIS EASY CHAIR
AS HE RELIVES THE MOMENTS, SAYS GIRL
THAT WAS HEAVEN RIGHT THERE
YOU CAN SEE HIS HEART'S BROKEN
AS A LONESOME TEAR DROPS TO THE FLOOR
AND ALONG WITH THE SILENCE THAT FELL
CAME A KNOCK AT THE DOOR
CHORUS:
A BOUQUET WRAPPED UP IN RIBBONS AND BOWS
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE I SUPPOSE
C STOP (1ST-TIME ONLY)
BUT HE CLINGS TO THE LAST RAY OF HOPE
AND A DOZEN WHITE ROSES
THEY WERE MEANT FOR EACHOTHER
THAT WAS CLEAR RIGHT FROM THE START
WHAT A SHAME TOO MUCH PRIDE AND A JEALOUS HEART
KEPT THEM APART
A CARD AND SOME FLOWERS
AIN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO MAKE AMENDS
FOR FIFTY YEARS LIVING A LIFE
OF WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
REPEAT CHORUS G C G C G
