A Good Year for the Roses Lyrics

This tune is done justice when performed by George Jones and Alan Jackson on the
"Bradley Barn Sessions" album.
A Good Year For The Roses By: George Jones
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick
on the cigar--ettes there in the ashtray
lyin? cold the way you left them
at least your lips caress--ed them while you packed
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
that you poured and didn't drink
but at least you thought you wanted it
that's so much more than I can say for me
Chorus:
But what a good year for the roses
many blooms still linger there
the lawn could stand another mowin?
it's funny, I don't even care
and when you turned and walked away
and as the door behind you closes
the only thing I know to say
it's been a good year for the roses
After three full years of marriage
it's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin?
there's so little left to say, we haven't said
while a million thoughts go runnin? through my mind
I find I haven't spoke a word
and from the bedroom those familiar sounds
of our one baby's cryin? goes un--heard
Repeat Chorus
